The sense that starts "An item or technology ..." might be trying to capture attributive use, but I don't know. The other sense seems to extend the period to the present, whereas I thought the "space age" would be more restricted to the time when it caught people's imagination.

- Space age, whether used as a nominal or attributively, is not an "item or technology", it is a period of time. DCDuring TALK 18:41, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- I think it might have been intended to be an adjective. --WikiTiki89 (talk) 20:26, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
- And it is not implausible that there be a sense that behaves like an adjective. See Google "very space age" — This unsigned comment was added by DCDuring (talk • contribs).
