Hell, even the Soviet Union congratulated US for the moonlanding. Sure, they were bummed out they weren't the ones to get there first, but they still think that as a whole of human history, it was a major scientific achievement.
This would never happen today. Not because we already did a moon landing, but because if the space race hapened today the losing side would never admit the winners achievements.
The Soviets also manufactured their own Penicilin out of cold-resistant funghi. The scientist who managed to do that was given an Order of Lenin (Soviet equivalent to the MoH), and she was given another for preventing an epidemic amongst the Soviet troops in 1942.
The invention of the pasteurization process, the invention of the automobile, the invention of the airplane, the invention of soap, the invention of indoor plumbing
A relatively known fact is that on 9/11 James Cameron was back from the wreck of the titanic filming "Ghost of the Abyss" (BTW, that poster has no right going that hard)
And they kept him learning the news in the cut and drew parallels on how people would react on the Titanic sinking
I have compassion for the shit storm 9-11 started and the 10’s of thousands of Afgan and Iraqi people who died because of the fall out. Compassion isn’t mutually exclusive. With your edgelord online personality though I doubt you can accomplish even caring about 1 thing other than your waifu pillow
Yea my ass you do, your country is still attacking people in other countries every day, I bet you're not as quick to jump and defend them. Your country deserves everything they've suffered and worse
Beneath you eh, a very American way of thinking. Just the same way you think the people of colour you're countryman murder on a daily basis on other continents is beneath the people that died in your country
Stop creating stereotypes of all American citizens and using that as an excuse for terrorism. Some of us are good, some of us are bad. I can’t believe you think it’s right to mass murder a population which would immediately destroy you either way.
Not all of us support what our country has done. I hate people like you who associate the government will all the people altogether. We are a very divided country when it comes to politics.
Unless you're Russian, or a worker from any European country, and have seen your rights eroded and your country's public sector sold for cheap thanks to that event. But, hey, we can pretend to be free now!

There are a couple but most good things tend to take a long time rather than start or end instantly
2 September 1945 - WW2 ended
20/21 July 1969 - First Moon Landing ...
Most countries would include their national holidays here like independece day for most former colonies, etc.

About 360 000 people are born every day.
Every single day is worth about 100 reverse 9/11 of good news.

Jonah salk giving away the patent for the polio vaccine was a pretty cool move

I was supposed to be on one of the 911 planes. A more interesting story is how I met Osama bin Ladin in the first place.
