Question

Answer 1

This is a no-brainer. The Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969.

Answer 2

My vote for 'Greatest Achievement of the 20th Century':
Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Written by Arthur C. Clarke. It won an Oscar for Best Special Effects. It also won a BAFTA award for Best Cinematography. It will still be remembered for how we saw space travel when we were just on the verge of making it a reality. As well, it is a visually and mentally stimulating movie.

Answer 3

more important, Sputnik and Yuri Gregarin. It's a shame of the American education system that we don't learn about the Russian contribution to space exploration, even tho in Russia they learn about ours.

Imagine, Yuri Gregarin was the first man in space, the first person to leave Earth, the first person to view Earth from outside of the planet with his own eyes. I would love to know what he was thinking.

I think the internet will be more important in this century than it was in the 20th, kind of like the telephone.
