Question

Answer 1

MOTHER TERESA

mission was to care for (in her own words) "the hungry, the naked, the homeless, the crippled, the blind, the lepers, all those people who feel unwanted, unloved, uncared for throughout society, people that have become a burden to the society and are shunned by everyone." It began as a small order with 12 members in Calcutta; today it has more than 4,000 nuns running orphanages, AIDS hospices, and charity centres worldwide, and caring for refugees, the blind, disabled, aged, alcoholics, the poor and homeless and victims of floods, epidemics and famine in Asia, Africa, Latin America, North America, Poland, and Australia.

Answer 2

The single greatest achievement by mankind in history is the original moon landing.

That was the first time when all of the eggs were in a basket made of theory. The scientists and engineers at the time had no way to experiment with a realistic simulation to prepare for the landing, the only things they had to work with was mathematics, physics, and other theories.

The lives of actual human beings were totally dependent on human ingenuity, and on abstract things like our understanding of how numbers work, and not trial and error.

When you think about it, it is absolutely awesome what we are able to accomplish with the proper incentives. The space race in this instance.

The greatest achivement in the history of the world was the taming of fire by man.

That was acomplished in the year 763,254 BC by the homo erectus named Narg who was able to take fire from a lightening strike and keep it going by adding fuel to it for 36 days. It took him another 3 years to get another fire going but that one died after 2 days a result of a rain storm. Narg never had another fire due to the fact he was eaten by a lion a few weeks later.
