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

"Could've sworn I parked it over here..."

[Kimera Industries]

"HEEEELP! I SNEEZED IN MY HELMET!"

[ColdJ]

Wait, is that the Spanish Inquisition? I wasn't expecting that.

[kerbiloid]

"They said, it's full of water. Not of this smelly ice."

[ColdJ]

With Howser as my security chief, what could go wrong?

Well, how did I get here?

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, 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
Letting the days go by, same as it ever was
Here a twister comes, here comes the 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

"What does this blinking red "O₂" mean?"

[Kimera Industries]

"Hey, I'm the first person to see a Starship tip over on Mars like that, I guess..."

[kerbiloid]

(Silently starts digging out the Starship tip.)

[Kimera Industries]

*Wakes up with an antenna in his abdomen and buried in sand, with the oxygen alarm blaring its head off*

*Also the Mars Ascent Vehicle and the rest of the crew are gone*

[ColdJ]

I need a tree to punch if I am going to survive here.

[kerbiloid]

"Oh! M-ars...!"

[GuessingEveryDay]

*silently picks up 4 stones and walks back up ramp*

*tosses stones down ramp, hoping they roll*

*walks to bottom of ramp*

Rolling Stones!

"If you see a painted sign at the side of the road, it says, 15 miles to the Love Shack"

[kerbiloid]

"Here is the depleted Martian rover, full of collected stones, which they haven't no idea how to deliver to the Earth.
It's a pity, I don't have room in my inventory to take them and sell to the museum, as anyway no laboratry needs them since the space ships started flying to Mars."

[Kimera Industries]

*SNAP*

*roughhousing abruptly stops, comms is activated*

"Hey Houston, uh, Perseverance has a spare tire, right?"

[TwoCalories]

"Okay Houston, what did you say to say again?"

"...What do you mean I'm not on mute to the live broadcast?"

(Whatever I say, I have 20 to 90 minutes before they hear, to do what I want to.)

Forgive me on the quoting, because I am listening to the Dune audiobook.

"Got to think of something historic to say, boy does it smell in this suit, I hope I don't accidentally die in the first year, that would be bad, wonder how the others are feeling, could feel the tension building the whole trip, oops almost time, better turn on the mic, wait, it is already on, oh cra...."

[kerbiloid]

"Why was it necessary to fly here just to farm the potatoes?"

[TwoCalories]

"What's the British flag doing here?"

[ColdJ]

"Yes!!, we are there yet", "Did you have to keep saying that the whole trip?"
