Nowadays, it is supposed to think that reaching space was one of the most significant achievements of the 20th century. However, not everyone shares this opinion.
From my point of view, space exploration is really an important achievement of the 20th century. Firstly, space is an unknown area which everyone always wanted to research. Thus, it was a tremendous technological breakthrough which gave people an opportunity to learn more about the galaxy where we live. Secondly, to reach space it was necessary to invent and design rockets and crafts to make flights more convenient and safe. Special space ships had to be developed and equipped perfectly.
Nevertheless, not all people share my point of view. They assume that space exploration was not as important as the creation of new medicine, and gadgets, etc.
in the 20th century. All these essentials are much more needed than space.
To be honest, I do not agree with the above opinion. The ability to go into outer space is so unbelievable. To be more precise, men can finally explore the galaxy, planets which are barely seen from the Earth. What is more, it became possible to find out whether there are other creatures in the galaxy.
In conclusion, although there are different opinions about this topic, I still believe that space exploration was the biggest breakthrough in the 20th century.
