When Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon in 1969 he said: "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Let’s think what words the first astronaut should utter when he will land on Mars? Perhaps it is prematurely to speak about it since the Martian spaceflight will occur within 20-30 years and not earlier but still we can invent some suitable phase for this purpose Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! what would you suggest? “The next giant leap after the Moon is Mars, so here we are!” “This is even greater leap than the lunar (spaceflight) and we did it!” What else can we invent?

How bout , God how we going to get back to earth . Guess we will have to stay . Or Thank God we lived for this moment , How much oxygen is left now the the oxygen re-generator is clogged with sand . Or Oh fucking! crash landing broke my leg . I don't want to die on Mars O.K. lets assume every thing went off with out a hitch . Kisses ground of mars laid out prostrate then utters in a quite voice> we made it
I can't find my copy of Red Mars, and I failed in googling. Was there ever a mention of John Boone's first words on Mars? I'm guessing maybe not, it's one of those things that all the characters would know from their history, so only alluded to without saying them.
"i hope we have enough gas to get home". "3 billion dollars for a handful of rocks and dirt?" "was this trip really necessary?" "we are here, now what?" "i hope we didn't forget anything." "we came, we saw, it's exactly as you expected."
