iKrolm Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 At precisely 8:30AM today (one hour after dawn, Martian time), Captian Rey Ventura stepped out of the Lander to place the first Selenarctan footprints into the Martian surface. In the internationally-televised event, Ventura responded to views outside the Lander's open hatch with a simple, "Wow." Descending down the ceremonial ladder (for unloading, the ladder will be replaced by a ramp) and after preforming a touch-down-then-hop-back-up maneuver identical to that of Carlos Aquino on the Moon Landing, Ventura touched down a second time with the words "These truly are small steps for a man, dwarfed by the great leaps they represent for mankind." (Artist's Interpretation) Over the next two months, the 12 crew members still in orbit aboard the Mars Rocket will gradually transition ground-side and two months after that finish construction of the permanent base, detailed here.

One I hope Australia can duplicate someday.
