If you were the first person on mars, what would you say?

I feel the strange need to build mine up like I'm somehow better;

I stare out into the endless red abyss, soaking in what exactly it is I'm about to do. I've travelled an unimaginable distance at an equally insane speed in a flying tin can to an alien world. This world is so amazingly strange and desolate and yet it's stunning. I think of the people who took leaps like these in times past. Childhood idol's really as they are for many, but none have taken a leap quite so large. Quite literally following in the footsteps of some of the greatest people who ever lived, and then going even father. I can feel they're spirts with me in this moment, along with those of the millions and billions of people all with me in this one moment in time where humanity finally leaves it's cradle. I think of my place in all this, out of all the people on Earth, billions and billions of incredible people, it was ME. I feel an incredible sense of honor to be the representative of humanity in this moment. I look to a mounted camera on the elevator that lowered me down to the red surface of the planet and wave to the world I was once apart of, a wave no one will see for 15 whole minutes.  With nothing left to do I finally begin to move forward, all of my life, all of everything, converging on this singular moment. I feel the dust beneath my feet give way as I walk onto the surface.

With the awe of the situation slightly subsiding I realize that I don't have anything to say, what would this historic moment be without some memorable quote for the ages? And worse still; my joints feel like they just came out of one of those annoying family road trips! I do my best to stretch my back and legs in the bulky suit and then it happened; the quote materializes in my head, it's a little on the nose but it's powerful and most importantly it will do the job. I clear my throat and utter the words to be remembered for hundreds of years:

Spoiler

"I am never putting a Kerbal through back pain like this ever again!"

I can feel the mockery and bewilderment of mission control before they even see me step onto the surface. I try to keep it out of my mind as I plant my flag :/

I would sing.

[Verse 1]
Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon
[Verse 2]
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Feet they hardly touch the ground
Walking on the moon
My feet don't hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moon

[Chorus]
Some may say I'm wishing my days away
No way, and if it's the price I pay
Some say tomorrow's another day
You stay, I may as well play

[Verse 1]
Giant steps are what you take
Walking on the moon
I hope my legs don't break
Walking on the moon
We could walk forever
Walking on the moon
We could be together
Walking on, walking on the moon

You might also like

[Chorus]
Some may say I'm wishing my days away
No way, and if it's the price I pay
Some say tomorrow's another day
You stay, I may as well play

[Outro]
Keep it up, keep it up
Keep it up, keep it up
Keep it up, keep it up
Keep it up, keep it up
Yo yo yo yo
Keep it up, keep it up
Yo yo yo yo
Keep it up, keep it up
Yo yo yo yo
Keep it up, keep it up
Yo yo yo yo
Keep it up, keep it up
Yo yo yo yo
Keep it up, keep it up
Yo yo yo yo
Keep it up, keep it up
Yo yo yo yo

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean
Water dissolving and water removing

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

You may ask yourself, "What is that beautiful house?"
You may ask yourself, "Where does that highway go to?"
And you may ask yourself, "Am I right? Am I wrong?"
And you may say to yourself, "My God, what have I done?"

Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground

Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was and look where my hand was
Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us
Same as it ever was, the same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Here a twister comes, here comes a twister
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was (letting the days go by)
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was (letting the days go by)
Once in a lifetime, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again

You are a seriously great songwriter, would actually want to hear that
