Houston to Mars. Houston to Mars. Before you step down, here’s a brief reminder of your prime directive: "Don’t piss Podkayne off!"
But there was a Ray Bradbury story about a family living on Mars. The parents finally take the kids out “to see the Martians” as they’ve always promised - and take them to a canal and have them look down. They see their own reflections, of course.

“You know, Hoagland was right, it really is a face!”
“Houston, we have a problem…”

No, that should be “One small step for a woman…”
Hopefully

Bow to my space-wang!
Considering the way NASA is run and funded these days, no matter what the first person on Mars says, it will probably be in Chinese. :rolleyes:
“All your Mars are now belong to us.”
[sub]someone had to say it[/sub]
All your Mars are belong to us.
You have no chance to survive. Make your time.
All your Mars are belong to us.
You have no chance to survive. Make your time.
“Hey! You really can see the Great Wall of China from here!” 
And, from some time ago, all the ones in this thread.
