View Full Version : First words when we go back to the moon?
Grand_Lunar
2006-Jul-19, 09:27 PM
[paradoy post] ;)
When we return to the moon, what should the first words be when whoever it is steps on the surface? I.E, Armstong's were the infamous "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Here are my thoughts:
> All your base belong to us.
> What the heck is...ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Just kidding, Houston.
> Let's see what's out there.
> This looks like a good place for a Wal-Mart.
> [before stepping on the surface] To be or not to be? [after stepping on it] To be.
> Look! Alien tracks! Two, three days old!
> Daisy, daisy....
> My god, it's full of stars!
Feel free to add whatever you wish....

Houston: Remember as soon as your on the ground walk over to the boulder where Schmidt found the orange dust.
PHX: roger, then what?
Houston: Look to the right side of the boulder and see if Jack's tool bag is there.
PHX: I'm on the ground and heading for Jack's bag.
Houston: roger, make sure there is a hammer in the bag.
PHX: OK
Houston: It's Jack's favorite hammer.
PHX: I see the bag.
Houston: OK
PHX: There are some rocks and small sample bags, but no hammer, wait a minute......
there is a note... huhh...
it says "I got your hammer, Gene".

We're whalers on the moon,
We carry a harpoon.
But there ain't no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing our whaling tune.
