We're all too familiar with Neil Armstrong's words after becoming the first man to set foot on the moon, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.". I know that SpaceX recently conducted a wet dress rehearsal for the Starship mega-rocket designed to lunar and Mars missions, and is now preparing for a static test fire of the Starship's engines, but if a Starship mission takes humans to Mars, the question is what the first words spoken on Mars by an astronaut should be. Therefore, I'm providing a list of possible choices for what the first spoken words on Mars should be:
* "We stand on the shoulders of giants. Marco Polo, Zheng He, Ibn Battuta, Christopher Columbus, Lewis and Clark, Roald Amundsen, Charles Lindbergh, Neil Armstrong. Today we take this step as one species on a journey that will take us to the stars. Humanity's story has only just begun."
* "Starship has landed on the Red Planet. That's one big step for spacefarers, and one big step for America".
* "We set foot on another stepping stone to the stars."

Wubba lubba dub dub b*tches *raises both middle fingers*

Nobody remembers this crap anyway, grandiose posturing is for people who don't yet realize how vast and apathetic the universe is.

Seriously. I have theories.

I like what you started.

My version (with a nod to Sir Arthur C. Clark):


"Standing on the shoulders of giants, we rise. All these worlds are ours to explore. From the stars we came, to the stars we shall one day return."

"Not as red as I thought it would be"
"Did anyone bring toilet roll ?"

The official first words will likely be more scripted and less impactful than Neil Armstrong's first words , I look forward to hearing them.
