What are your “go-to” cool SpaceX facts/achievements for casuals who don’t follow space stuff?

With OFT-2 (hopefully) and thanksgiving right around the corner, many of us are going to be trying to explain to our families/friends how insane all of this actually is (SpaceX influence to industry, technological achievements, breakneck pace, etc)

How do you do that when people don’t even know we are going back to the moon soon? How do you make comparisons when they don’t even know what it is you would be comparing to?

Unfortunately a lot of what I have to do is do damage control from what they actually do hear in the news (“SpaceX rocket BLOWS UP because Musk blah blah blah”, recent Reuters report, etc)
