      In the grand scheme of things, I think it warrants a global holiday, never mind just two threads.

      It is a huge, monumental achievement for not just humanity but for life on Earth.

      √ Flight (some hundreds of millions of years ago)
      √ Achieve escape velocity (that's so last century, dahling)
      √ Get an artificial object into orbit
      √ Have a life form visit another body in space
      √ Get an artificial object outside the Sun's influence

        Establish persistent, self sustaining life on another body in space (even if it is just a bacterial colony)

          I seriously doubt that there can be anything living on that remote, forbidding planet
