In the last century when a human astronaut first arrived on the Moon he said: “It is a big step for mankind”. But some people think it makes little difference to our daily life. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

The

last

century was defined by global changes and discoveries and landing on the Moon was definitely a scientific and technological breakthrough. Though not everyone agrees that

this

big step really makes difference for an average human being. In my opinion, space exploration has literally enabled us to widen our horizons, but made little changes in the way we live as other achievements proved to be more useful for everyday routine.

In addition

, space exploration is quite a narrow and complicated sphere of interest and not many people are really into it. First of all, if talking about scientific achievements that made much difference to our lives, in my opinion, the Internet rather than astronauts on the Moon has become a big step for mankind. The global electronic web facilitated communication and made it possible to create new things

whereas

landing on the Earth's satellite doesn’t seem to impact our activity directly. I strongly believe that astronomy enriched modern science, though it is difficult to see its results in a modern household.

For instance

To sum up

, it proved that human science has developed significantly over the
