OT - what would you say if you were the first man on the moon? or other planet/moon/*

[narf poit chez BOOM]

this came up in a conversation me and my dad were having. i thought mine was good, 'can't...breath...akk...ak', but my dad topped it: 'hey, look at that running over there.'

"I claim this planet for ME!" -or- "I am GOD!"

[Atrocities]

The question should be Narf, what will the first man on Mars say?

[oogs]

i'd say "NarF!"

[Atrocities]

If I were the first man to ever step foot on mars, I would say the following. "Holly **** batman, the planet is actually red!!"

J/k

"Let this first step on this planet not be out Last."

[Atrocities]

[Atrocities]

What I would NOT want to hear is:

"Why is that alien thing pointing a gun at m-".........static.

[oogs]

what about:

"hey, let's make a martian-dust angel!"

[narf poit chez BOOM]

well, it started with a discussion of this thing we've heard were Armstrong was supposed to say 'one small step for >a< man...'.

but, sure, pick the planet, moon or asteriod of your choice.

/me pictures himself stepping on this moon

"let this first step on this mooon not be our Last!"

a couple steps later....


"ok, that's it! Last one on the ship is a rotten egg!"
(everyone rushes onto the ship)
"woohoo! i got the Last step on mars!"

at least that's what it would be like at 2:45am if i were the astronaut and the first person to step on mars.

the martian dust-angel comes in a close second to that.

[Rollo]

"It's about time we time landed! I have to take a leak. Now hand me another beer."

[oogs]

on the trip there i think i'd start:

"when will we get there? when will we get there? when will we get there? when will we get there? when will we get there? when will we get there? ..."

Speaking of Mars, you should all check out the movie Alien Hunter with James Spader in it. Not a bad movie and they explain what actually happened to mars. You have to listen for it, but its there.

"I want that spaceport up and running in 3 months followed by a resuply depot by another 3 months SO MOVE IT you lazy ***censored***"

Do not forget to deploy those Mines, and build those Weapons Platform either! That is a presidential mandate!

I wonder if we will ever colonize Mars. I know I have said in the past that I think not, but Narf did make me wonder if it could ever happen.

"HEY LOOK A BUFFETT!"

Or

"This is Col. Brubaker. That was one smooth ride. Would you not agree Col Willis and Cmdr Walker? Dr. Kelloway don't kill the children."

[Member 4148]

i don't think anyone could top what armstrong said as he got off the moon: "Good luck Mr. Gorsky (http://www.baseballhumor.com/anecdotes/5.shtml)"

[narf poit chez BOOM]

and another in the 'have fun with mission control' catagory: in a very innocent voice: 'oh, my. is that a billboard?'

[Caduceus]

From Marvin:

"I claim this planet in the name of Mars... Isn't that lovely?"

Wildcard

[narf poit chez BOOM]

i can't remember the qoute to well, but it was an old duck dodgers episode and he and marvin where fighting over a planet and it ended up with DD winning...but the planet ended up one little peice of dirt with a thread hanging down and Porky pig and Marvin where hanging on it.

DD and PP had a funny gag right there, but i can't remember it. anyway, that one.

[Sabin]

If we were to colonize mars, it probably would be like it is in Space Empire IV: You have to first construct a ship, which delays industrial developments on Earth somewhat, and then it is sent to Mars.

Once the colonization of Mars begins, it would be time consuming, and would significantly drain resources. However, once the Mars colony is well established, Mars may begin the production of resources, and make up for the investment many times over in resources, technology, and population removal.

+: Has major long-term benefits.
-: A drain of resources until the colony can provide resources.

hmm...you and your teammates could keep up a running discusion of something fictional and nonspecific until somebody cracks and laughs...

'will you look at that?'

'hey look, another one.'

MC: 'what are you looking at?'

'cool!'

or even better, until the camera-man who is filming you live (and this is broadcasting to the entire world) comes up to look at what you're looking at!
to add some drunk college freshman humor courtesy of my neighbors, draw a penis in the dirt before the camera comes over.

Not to say anything bad about the folks at NASA, but more than likely the first few manned missions to Mars will fail horribly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]

hopefully, that's one of the reasons there sending robots - to learn what works and what doesn't. and nasa has had a pretty good success rate with manned missions, i think.

[oogs]

well, hopefully they figured out that inches are not equal to centimeters. I distinctly remember a mars probe failing miserably because they forgot to convert from metric to ... uhhh... whatever we use here is called.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

inches are imperial.
