Would love to see "warp drive" in my lifetime. Ha ha ha. Would make my job way faster tho.

Landing on Mars will come pretty close...but what would be BIG, would be the first footsteps on a planet in a different solar system entirely, especially if it came within the next 100 years. That would be as BIG as SETI actually detecting a signal, because instead of just picking up a signal, we'd actually be there (or at least on some Earthlike planet, somewhere).
Therefore our 3 greatest achievements would be....1. Landing on the Moon, 2. Warp Drive (thereby kicking the grand pedestal Einstein has been put on, from out under him), and 3. Stepping onto a completely alien world, light years from Earth, for the first time.
