Which engineering feat of the 20th century do you feel was the most significant and what were some of the underlying principles that finally made it possible?

There are probably many contenders for the title 'Most significant'.
Because it changes the basic, underlying principles involved in what used to be called a constant velocity joint, the 'Thompson coupling' recently invented in Australia by Glen Thompson would qualify.
Previously to this invention, constant velocity joints were not truly constant velocity. The Thompson coupling is truly constant velocity and is claimed to save about 8% of the previously wasted energy.

What are the main areas of maths used in mechanical engineering?
Everything in engineering requires applications of mathematics. Is this a joke? Mathematics is the QUEEN of the sciences. she RULES engineering. Without math, you have no engineering, any kind of engineering. Think of Mathematics as the Venus of the sciences.
What is an inference for some people will do anything for attention?
One possible inference is that some individuals may prioritize seeking attention or validation over other values or principles. This behavior could stem from underlying insecurities, a need for external validation, or a desire to feel significant or recognized by others.

The usual engineering principles apply: the lightest possible beam has the greatest depth, with suitable struts along the length.
How is it possible to land on the moon?
If you're asking how you personally can do it, that's really beyond the scope of what we can cover here. If you're asking in general... by a thorough and rigorous application of the principles of science and engineering (and finance, because all that science and engineering is going to cost billions of dollars).
