I personally believe the most important American thing was the Moon Landing in 1969. On July 16, 1969, the Appollo 11 launched from the Kennedy Space Center.
thanks to North American Aviation and Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, both were subcontractors for the Apollo 11, which was the name of the NASA mission
Neil Armstrong, Commander; Michael Collins, command module pilot; and , Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot.
On July 20, 1969, Commander Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon. His historic words were, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
A camera in the Lunar Module provided live television coverage as Neil Armstrong climbed down the ladder to the surface of the moon.
To walk on the moon's surface, the astronauts needed to wear a space suit with a portable life support system. This controlled the oxygen, temperature and pressure inside the suit.
The crew spent a total of two and a half hours on the moon's surface. While on the moon's surface, the performed a variety of experiments and collected soil and rock samples to return to Earth.
An American flag was left on the moon's surface as a reminder of the accomplishment.
We were able to get advancements on computers and telephones, also communciation satelites that lead to better direction (GPS), tv (all over the world), Weather, and protection.
I think being the first to land on the moon gave us many advantages in our Sciences. We were able to be further advanced than many other countries.
