If you are Christian, Jewish, or Muslim, it would have to be Noah building an Ark and surviving the worldwide flood. That or Adam eating the forbidden fruit, or Abraham having a son.
From a non-religious standpoint I would actually go with the the US winning the revolutionary war and the writing of our constitution. Nothing has had a larger impact on the way people all over the world live their lives on a daily basis. It was the beginning of the civilized world freeing itself of monarchies and dictators. It proved to the world that the writings of Locke, Rousseau, etc could actually be implemented and succeed as more than theory. It spawned the French Revolution and countless other revolutions.
Landing on the moon is cool, but what did it really change? How did it impact our lives?

I think we're going to have to give that one more time for humanity to see how it plays out. If space exploration ever becomes more feasible and a serious endeavor then it will have been huge as a symbol of humanity's first step outward.

Again, that's not the question. He asked what was the most famous/memorable/iconic moment in human history. It has to be a single event that people witnessed, so naturally it's going to be one in the age of television/internet. Only ones close to the moon landing are the nuclear bombs and 9/11

A lot more than you think. I don't think it's a coincidence that the technological boom in the late 70s-80s happened when the kids who watched the Moon Landing grew up.
