The world wars catalysed by alien infiltrators, and the meeting on the moon where the treaty agreeing that we would use our borrowed alien technology responsibly was signed, you mean. Obviously the meeting had to be held on the moon, for dual reasons. For one to trigger a space race that would show which human tribe was most ready for the knowledge. And two (of course) because earth gravity is a painful endurance for the tall, slender bodies of our alien benefactors.
If I had to guess.
