I’m not particularly impressed with going 50 miles per gallon. That doesn’t impress me when we can go to the moon.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that being able to travel to the moon is far more impressive than simply getting good gas mileage on a car. The speaker is saying that while 50 miles per gallon is good, it's not as amazing as the incredible feat of sending people to the moon. The point is that sometimes we can become focused on smaller achievements when there are much greater and more remarkable accomplishments happening in the world.
