What is Mankind's Greatest Invention?

[SuburbanFarmer]

You have to define the terms.

Greatest Achievement: either the internet or the moon landing.

Thing that separates us from all other animals: fire

Most amazing thing for it's time: the renaissance (advances in art and learning)

Pah. moon landing. pandering to the MIC once again. I shall compose another rhyme to stomp on your assertions if you are not careful.

Look up tonight. There's an American flag on there. (and a couple bags of frozen shit). Yep. We took a shit on the moon.

The flag is white at this point.

shhhh. Wouldn't matter if it's disintegrated by now. It's ours, and we did it.

You sold out the Earth to stand on the Moon,
men into space is coming too soon,
clean water for all, or medicine shared
is qudos enough, for someone who cared.

The scientific method.

Or, if we're talking about something you can hold; steel.

Steel is the greatest thing ever.

I agree with the Dr Yute, language or speech is what sets us apart.

Nonsense, hippy bitch, on this I stand firm. We inspired humanity for probably the first time EVER, revamped scientific knowledge, changed our place in the universe, and did something that will eternally be regarded as "fucking badass". All within a decade-ish.

No guns on the moon, no billboards, just footprints. (and a flag and some trash) That was an all-time Badass Win for humanity, and I won't have it tainted by politics.

Like I said before, it's a national identity thing like us trying to be the first at the poles or raising the flag attop Mt Everest.
You have to remember that every single one of those scientific advances happened right here down on Earth. No reason to assume you needed the space race to acheive them. Necessity is the mother of all invention after all. I just find putting a man on the moon for a few short hours is not a necessity for me, mankind or the future of life on Earth.
Gonna have to agree to disagree on this one my freind.
