Re: Mankind's Acheivements
Being a huge fan of the space program I would say
1> All time greatest achievement Landing on the moon
2> 20th Century's greatest achievement Landing on the moon
3> So far the greatest achievement of 21st Century None
4> All time worst achievement The Holocaust
5> 20th Century's worst achievement The Holocaust
6> So far the worst achievement of 21st Century That we still live blindly to our surroundings and are so easily lead astray, even with all of the new technological advances we have that give us so much more information than we ever thought we could get.

Re: Mankind's Acheivements
Interesting, but tough question! Naturally mine is biased towards the things I am interested in/passionate about!
1> All time greatest achievement - Travel (boat, air, land) and communications. We've expanded so much due to our abilities to explore the world and communicate with others outside of our immediate areas
2> 20th Century's greatest achievement - the automobile, the phone, or the 'net- oh yeah, and medicine
3> So far the greatest achievement of 21st Century - Well there's not much the past 9 years that really stands out to me... the election of a minority president is huge.
4> All time worst achievement - Ever in history? Wars (including WW2)
5> 20th Century's worst achievement- I'd have to agree- the Holocaust and similar events which are less talked about
6> So far the worst achievement of 21st Century - War will win this one again, for me

War is not an achievement, it is the lack of achievement, but I agree with where you are coming from with that.
