Win this piece of Mars
Win me

(This contest was judged here.)

… tell New Scientist,

what the first person to set foot on Mars should say.

If you win, and it doesn’t impress them, you have the wrong friends.

Mars rocks.

So, come to think of it, we will offer a free copy of The Nature of Nature (which offers Guillermo Gonzalez’s work on the true status of habitability of exoplanets) to the best entry placed here at Uncommon Descent, in the comments box.

Gonzalez’s 2001 prediction has held up so far.

Contest will be closed for judging May 28, 2011.

“So… men really are from Mars! – who knew?!”
heh. I've been thinking of how to make something from this. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. You might be a [xxxxx] if: You chose the trip to Mars over the trip to Venus.Mung

To pay for a human Mars expedition, I think there is going to have to be some commercial input ... and special acknowledgement too. As the Astronaut steps from the Mars Lander, she would say to camera 1 (with her Virginia Slims cigarette unlit in its holder), “You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby. I’m going to give you All the News That's Fit to Print.” To Camera 2: “Why is it me here and not you? ‘Maybe She's Born With It. Maybe It's..." some might say, or maybe because I’m good at ‘Connecting People’ . Well, ‘Between Love And Madness Lies Obsession’ ...” “Well,” – To Camera 3- “I ‘Just Do It’, because ‘It Gives You Wings’.’ Oh What A Feeling!’” Back to Camera 1 – “’When You Care Enough To Send The Very Best’ that ‘Keeps Going And Going And Going’, I will ask you ‘What’s The Worst That Can Happen?’ Here are 'The Solutions For A Small Planet’.” Camera 2: “I will ‘Look For The Golden Arches’ because ‘It’s The Real Thing’.” Camera 3. ‘Now ... There Is Only One Mars.” StepAussieID

BA77: I just listened to that podcast this afternoon. Dr Gonzales seemed a bit subdued . . . but the discussion of the considerations was very good.ellazimm

YES! A design inference! The lander actually landed on Mars. Chance. Necessity. Design.Mung

If I win, feel free to give my copy to another contestant or to a public library. I already have a copy. Plus, I've flooded the thread, lol. But i do think I've had some good ones. Only problem is they've pretty much been all one liners. And I bet that it will be a prepared speech longer than one line. Surely it will have something in it about how this shows we are friends with the Muslim world and not at war with Islam. ok, now I have to work that idea up into an entry, lol.Mung
