And I don't think just a human round trip to Mars would be a milestone.
I meant just an unmanned round-trip to prove the craft can do it - that still has not been done yet - certainly not with a reusable setup.
Feed into that landing then taking off again as another milestone.
Again never been done AFAIK.
