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.

The original was supposed to be
That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind"
and (according to NASA) the "a" was lost in transmission because it was too short a sound for the voice-activated mike to pick up and transmit. May I propose the following for the Mars landing: "That's one giant trip for a man, one tiny step for mankind"SCheesman

I'm having trouble MARShalling a reply. I have a feeling anything I come up with will be worlds apart from what's considered down to earth. It should be easy, it's not rocket science after all.ellazimm

Since we probably won't get there until after the Russians:
Ah, now, I understand why they call if the red planet.
