With the 40th anniversary of NASA’s Apollo 11 mission, CNN polled people from around the world and asked them the question, “What is man’s greatest achievement?” They got a surprising variety of answers to this question. While a few people did say the luna landing, this was usually not the answer. Here are some of the opinions in no particular order:
Fire
The Wheel
The Computer
The Airplane
The Written Word
The Alphabet
Architecture
Agriculture
Coffee
Sanitation
Music
Space Travel
The Internet
Antibiotics
Sliced bread
Discovery of the Atom
Velcro
Nuclear Fission
The Pyramids
Satellite Communication
Language
Plastic
Religion
Vaccines
I think I’d pick antibiotics. What do you think is man’s greatest achievement?
