First Words on Mars – Funny & Serious replies welcome...

You of all people are about to make history, among the ranks of Neil Armstrong, by being the first person to set foot on the surface of Mars.

I think Neil’s first words (despite the apparent flub), are indelible, immortal, eloquent, and perhaps the perfect sentiment to mark such a monumental moment in the history of mankind.

Those are some BIG boots to fill. So, let’s hear your best shot. Funny’s always good, but I’d love to see if anyone can come close to the weight of Armstrong’s words as well. Of course, both or several entries are welcome.

The Olympus has landed…

“Boom! Yummy!” (points for anyone who actually gets that reference)

“Well, here we are.”

Ahhhhh my eyes! The goggles do nothing!

Gotcha ya!
Hi Opal!

Where’s the kaboom? There’s supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom.

To bravely fart where no man has ever farted before!:wink:

“COCA-COLA!!!”

(With apologies to Robert Klein.)

The Ventura Bros!

“Those who will follow in this first footstep on another planet, well… it’s just not the same as being first, and I pity you for that.”

I’m going to Disney World!
This is big fucking deal.

And now for something completely different.

这是一个人的一小步,却是人类的一巨大步

“I KNEW I ‘shoulda’ made that left ‘toin’ in ‘Albakoikie’”

More likely something like “多吃红色尘埃,美国人的狗!”

How about “你好, 媽媽!”

Eat red dust you yankie son of a bi… ?

Well, it doesn’t specify the gender of the dog.

Or the yankie…

(I’m only guessing, googletranslate is terrible with Chinese, I did the smart thing and stole my quote off the wikipedia article of 尼尔·阿姆斯特朗 (níěr āmǔsītèlǎng)

“I hear by claim the planet Mars in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the New Holy Roman Empire in this the 2371st year of our Lord”

Turning towards fellow astronaut “Father Mark please send the vid of our arrival to Vatican Control and inform the Pontiff that construction of Mission Burroughs will begin in the morning.”

Hey, where the [del]white[/del] green women at?

Oh my God what are those creatures?!! They’re approaching us! Aaaaaargh. (static)
