Why would it be considered “historic”?

Is it the first time man has landed a space craft on a non-earth object (no)?
Is it the first time man has landed on Mars (no)?
Is the space craft carrying a human or even an animal (no)?

So ... what is so historic?

First major space mission since NASA’s primary objective was changed from space exploration to preventing Islamophobia?

Not that big, but lots of deployed antennas and spread-out equipment for tests and readings.

It’s historic because it’s been done so few times, and it’s difficult to do.

Russia has tried many times to put a spacecraft on Mars and failed.

Historic- adjective

Famous or important in history, or potentially so.

“we are standing on a historic site”

synonyms:significant, notable, important, momentous, consequential, memorable, newsworthy.

Ok?

Okay. Did they drop it out of the bomb bay doors of the space shuttle? ;-)

<>"So ... what is so historic?"<>

Would you have them do Muslim outreach, instead?

Hope'd we'd be able to jump planet by now or at least have retirement centers on Luna.
