[ WP ] Humanity has sent is first manned mission to Mars . As the Commander takes his/her first steps across the Martian dunes , they notice something mostly buried in the sand ; a flag .

This is it. 
 
 This is what humanity has been striving for ever since Man looked up and saw the stars. This would be the biggest step for mankind ever since the moon landings took place. 
 
 Astronauts Tom and Kelbor will be the ones to make that step. Years of preparation have gone into it, and now was the time of its fruition. 
 
 The drop pod is descending onto the Red Planet, humanity watching the pod's every move. 
 
 The pod crashes onto the surface with a soft *thump*. Astronaut Kelbor descends from the small ladder attached to the pod. As he turns around he utters'a small step for a man, a large step for....' the last words never leave his mouth. 
 
 In front of him stands a small flag, deep red with a white circle in the middle. Within the circle stand four `` L'' s attached to each other.
