The 100 photographs that changed the world..

I have included the 2 images that never left my mind (I'm a history buff)

Feel free to post yours!

Interesting thread, I'm sure you'll trigger quite a few responses.

For mine, I believe an image that has stayed with me since it happened was when Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon, way back on the 20th July 1969. Not so much a face to the human struggle more so a first time achievement for humankind. I was a young lad in primary school at the time and saw it live (in b & w) and even today marvel at what a great accomplishment it was. Apparently Mars is on shaky ground with a similar visit planned.

It pretty much ended the concept of world war.
Nuclear weapons are interesting, most people argue that third world nations should not have them since they may be irresponsible and may use them. So how that means we are better/smarter than them?

Being there that day this one is one I'll never forget

I'm not sure they get more powerful than this.
