16 years to go until...

What would happen if everyone on this forum agreed upon a name for the first human on Mars? Say... Rebecca Smith for example. We all just accept that it's canon and keep repeating it all over the internet.

Would it be possible to turn this meme into such an accepted fact that it would spread worldwide?

Even eventually leading to Rebecca Smith being mentioned in the new show?

Let's make it happen, people.
 
The poor guy from Voyager's One Small Step who got pulled into a subspace anomaly and was lost for 300 years until Voyager found the same anomaly and his space capsule. We got to see him try unsuccessfully to escape through old log entries.

They beamed his body aboard the Delta Flyer and rather stupidly gave him a funeral on the bridge. I don't see why you'd want to commandeer your command center for something like that. Just their luck some alien could start shooting at them while there's a big coffin right in the way as everyone scrambles to the stations they aren't watching.

I have no recollection whatsoever of this episode.
 
Little Known Fact:

Rebecca Smith was an Astrobiophysicist who worked on the first experiments, planting seeds in soil resembling that of Mars, in order to develop viable ways to grow various foods on Mars, with the goal of going to Mars. She was also the first picked for an eventual wo-manned trip to Mars.

I think that Henry Starling's dabbling with time is the reason for all this.

Probably because of that, the Eugenics War didn't happen (or occurred about 100 years later).

Certain authorities knows about it and are trying to keep it secret.

Just look at Microsoft and Apple. It's officially stated that people like Bill gates and Steve Jobs created the computer revolution while everybody knows that it was Henry Starling who started it all.

Just like Fox Mulder says: "The truth is out there!"
 
^I do, and I thought that it was good.

I found it was a pretty movingly presented piece and of course provided an emotional learning experience for Seven. Though, to me, her acceptance and understanding of what she viewed of Kelly's travails seemed a bit forced. I'm not sure I saw the performance here, as among Ryan's best.
