"It's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind", were the famous words spoken by Neil Armstrong when he became the first human ever to set foot on the moon.
As the possibilities of a manned Mars mission grow ever closer - if you were the first person to set foot on the red planet, what would your words be ?
Here's an article that may give you some ideas. 8)

the thing I would not want them to say is something like:
'oh bugger, there go the air tanks'
'oh bugger, there go the air tanks'

my first words would be, "wow, i just flew here from Earth and my arms are REALLY tired!"
if there was a meteor,
adrift amongst space,
set about on a collision course
not with Earth, but my face...
i wonder if id even know,
at what time i might,
be passed off like an old style
and by the meteor be smite?
- me, 1997

The words that I wouldn't want to hear is
"THEY'RE HERE!" :s1
My first word would be :o "WOW!"
"THEY'RE HERE!" :s1

We do what we do because of who we are. If we did otherwise, we would not be ourselves.

My first words would be, "Is this the same studio we faked the lunar landing in?" and, "Cor blimey govenor, those overhead lights are hot!"
or maybe
"My goodness, we managed to pass by those bands of cosmic radiation without getting fried again like that time we landed on the moon and didn't come back like spam fritters. By the way it was amazing how we got off the lunar surface that time without enough fuel to light a cigarette. That was an amazing spring powered widget that you created to do the job Neil!"
- Someone not quite convinced by the lunar landing - surely flags need a wind in which to blow? :-\

yeah, they like to spend all that tax payer money on gigantic fake rockets. why even launch them at all, we could just manipulate the video and tell people we did it?
why even risk testing fake systems in the rockets that kill astronauts on the launchpad? must be a publicity stunt to convince you acute minded conspiracists.

Electro,
Not surprisingly this subject has been covered at length. Click HERE for more information, it'll address the issue of the 'flag' flapping in the breeze along with many other supposed 'anomolies'. Give it a look and follow the links, it should help open your eyes to the truth.
