Not writing off achievements. These are simply not inspiring people the way the Chinese are being inspired today just by going to the moon. That's all. At some level Mars is as intangible of asking someone to understand how a bird feels while flying. Outside of small circles there's no real appreciation for just how difficult these missions are. Therefore, the sense of awe isn't there. I'll bet most people in the US don't understand why you can't drive the robots on Mars like you do an RC car on the street. Yes, I am hinting at other problems. I am not sure what the ROI of robotic or manned missions to Mars might be. And I am not necessarily in financial terms.
