Well, the Moon Landing took nearly 10 years planning, was built on previous achievements and technologies, required 400,000 people working together for one aim, cost billions of dollars (in the 1960s). People died in the early trials (Apollo 1), and it was not designed to deliver a sustainable base, but only to visit a few times. And it inspired a generation.
Whereas Brexit only got going with Article 50 a couple or so years ago, does not have the same concerted will supporting it (rather it divides the nation). It will cost many hundreds of billions (at 2019 prices), will doubtless shorten many more peoples lives (more poverty, more austerity), and it is a complete change to the state of the nation. Oh, and it will ruin a generation.
Just saying.
