I'm glad you are looking forward to such an event, but I doubt it will be very comparable to what the moon landing felt like. About the only similarity would be the fact of space travel + other planet(oid). The pure risk, in both technological and human terms, the sheer number of things that had never been done before at all, the extent to which so many people didn't think it could be done, the utter shock of watching it live when there was no such thing as significant live coverage, won't be re-created in my opinion. Just like it is hard today to understand just how shocking Orson Welle's head projected to enormous size on a movie screen saying "Rosebud" was in a movie theater - something people had never seen at that scale before - it will be hard to understand how shocking and amazing the moon landing was when looked at by near-future sensibilities.
