Humans are capable of incredible things. If we put our bodies and minds to the test, we can not only surpass our own expectations but also push what we consider to be the limit of our species. Just tune in to the Olympic Games this summer and count the times you will hear the phrase "It's never been done before!" Wishing to explore this topic further, Reddit user Anonburrsir asked everyone on the platform to list the feats that fewer people have done than walk on the moon (which twelve can brag about). Here are the most interesting answers from the 4.3K comments their post has received.

"Only 12 People Have Walked On The Moon. What's Something That Less People Have Done?" (30 Stories) If I’m allowed to toot my own horn, I’m the only person to ever accurately forecast a tornado in Afghanistan. I had to fight tooth and nail to get that forecast approved, and by golly, it was by far the noodliest looking tornado ever. Someone down range thankfully got a picture for me.

"Only 12 People Have Walked On The Moon. What's Something That Less People Have Done?" (30 Stories) Perfect autobiographical memory is a medical condition known as *hyperthymesia*. A person who has hyperthymesia could tell you from the top of their head what day of the week any date they lived through was, and what they ate that day, and what they did on that particular day. If they saw the news that day they could tell you the day's headlines. It's an exhausting condition to have.

It's extremely rare and diagnosis is usually disputed. Only 10 case studies of hyperthymesia have passed peer review and been recorded in the medical literature.

----

*edit*

Since people have taken an interest and some are understandably skeptical, a few reference links.

* A man who's been diagnosed with hyperthymesia, with MRI brain scan analysis to try to identify the causes of his unusual memory. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3432421

* A different medical case study of hyperthymesia. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13554790500473680

* Profile of actress Marilu Henner and her hyperthymesia. Henner costarred with Danny DeVito, Andy Kaufman, and Tony Danza on the TV show *Taxi*. https://www.brainandlife.org/articles/actress-marilu-henner-has-a-highly-superior-autobiographical-memory-a/

* In book form, *The Woman Who Can't Forget: The Extraordinary Story of Living with the Most Remarkable Memory Known to Science--A Memoir* by Jill Price.

"Only 12 People Have Walked On The Moon. What's Something That Less People Have Done?" (30 Stories) Alex Honnold is the only person who has ever free soloed (climbing without ropes or gear) El Capitan.

I doubt anyone else will ever even attempt to do this. Not only is it extremely difficult and dangerous, but there's not a lot of glory in being the second person to do it.

"Only 12 People Have Walked On The Moon. What's Something That Less People Have Done?" (30 Stories) Survived rabies. (I think).

Edit: clarifying that I was not referring to myself but just answering the original question of something I thought that less than 12 people had achieved. I was pretty sure less than 12 people have survived contracting rabies because, barring the one exception I could think of, it has 100% fatality rate.
