...and being FIRST to do the nearly impossible of soft-landing a spacecraft on another planet!!!!!!???????All true, but America actually did this over 30 years ago:
Viking Mars Lander Program 1976
I'm very glad the Mars program is getting active again...

Not by “soft” landing. The last was with NASA’s version of bubble wrap. This one was by parachute and thrusters. Absolutely amazing!!!!
