>Sure they aren't as notable as putting humans on the freaking moon
And it seems you agree with me!!
>but that's also a pretty impossibly high bar to match. The only thing that would best it is humans on Mars.
Wrong, there's plenty of things that would best Apollo. A serious space station (like the rotating one in 2001) perhaps at a Lagrangian point, a Moon base, Moon or asteroid mining operations, orbital construction of a longer-range spacecraft, creation of nuclear spacecraft engines, etc. Basically all the stuff we dreamed about back in the Apollo days and then never bothered to do and just forgot about.
As I said before, nothing as notable.
