What is man's greatest achievement?

[Miramonti]

If greatest means "the most difficult", perhaps the lunar landing. But that's like saying Einstein was the greatest person because he was [possibly] the smartest.

Depends on your definition of what great is I guess.

 

[Babbles]

Without a doubt I would say the moon landing.

It is the culmination of an insane amount of work and has spurned the advancement (via continued space flight) of technologies we use today. It was probably the single largest sort of "jump start" in terms of scientific advancement that has ever occurred.

the transistor.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

I would say "Relocating us on the food chain."

Day to day, the percentage of humans that are in danger of being eaten by an animal is much much lower than say... 10,000 years ago.

The answer is soap. Well, maybe language and then soap.

I'd probably say the moon landing.

Convincing 95% of the planet that there's an invisible man in the sky who watches everything we do and will punish us for our transgressions against him.

Or waffles. With syrup and butter of course.

[SammySnood]

1. language

Convincing 3.6 billion people that we actually walked on the moon

 

[Titan]

Umm the pyramids is a pretty big one.

I would see the pyramids as an achievement. something we attain and keep.

Going to the moon was more of an accomplishment. It's not like we've been back at all recently, as we are too broke to do so. The moon landing is something we have lost.
