Humanity has an insane variety of extremely groups and individuals
Humanity has a seemingly never-ending amount of insane maniacs who "thread the needle", seemingly doing the absolute impossible, sometimes giving it their all even if it costs their lives to fulfill a mission. Some do these impossible tasks seemingly like it's "just another Tuesday".
Aliens are often baffled by the stunts these lunatics' antics, still bewildered at their intense skill, in combat, Engineering, science, mathematics, all types of fields! Those bastards found a way to grow "potatoes" on a fucking Ashen deathworld!
