Post If You Got the Chance to Go

Let's say you were a scientist in the space program....an astronomer and/or geologist let's say, and you were lucky enough to be picked to go on the first manned Mission to Mars. What would you say, if you were the one picked to take that first step onto Martian soil??

Think about it

That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.

Hey Troy...if "waxing gibbous" sounds like an ape polishing a car, then is a "full moon" where someone has all of their arse hanging out a window

Well, better add my reply to my own question

I'd say...."That maybe another giant leap for mankind, but our greatest leap is coming next...the leap to the stars".

I actually thought about "Waxing gibbous moon? Sounds like an ape bending over while polishing a car" but it was becoming a bit much.
