How do YOU land on planets?

[We Are Groot]

The same way you wrestle an 800 pound Gorilla? Very carefully.

 

[dayrth]

"What's that? It's big and round. I think I'm going to call it ... ground. Hello ground."

I wonder if it will be friendly?

 

[Becks]

Flying an Orca?

If it doesn't say 'hello!' back, then you're free to assume it's not friendly.

Don't forget to record it for posterity, while reciting the whale speech... on Twitch or YouTube

Afraid that my vocal cords simply can't produce whale sounds

Then you're just not trying...
Anyway I meant the one from HHTTG, not the one from STIV

Ahh, okay. But anyhow, to make them whale sounds - think my vocal cords would take a break and go for a vacation.

 

[willowfan]

OK. Orca is an acceptable whale replacement. What about the bowl of petunias?

A bowl of Onionhead plants?

 

[Becks]

"Not again." We will never know why the bowl of petunias thought this.

(I love this movie.)

Er, of course we know... it's all explained in the radio series. And um, please never mention the movie in my presence... it makes my sense of taste want to strangle me with my own intestine.

 

[Banana's_Are_Good_For_You]

Usually engines first while failing to boost in time. When drunk it's usually a full canopy, face planet.
Like, if you're gonna mess up, may as well do it in style.

Only saw the movie sorry

I always have my copy of the HHGTTG handy in the cockpit when I'm attemting a planetary landing. I find the cover very reassuring... DON'T PANIC

The one who doesn't obey rules of HHGTTG is a fool, anyway (Arthur was a moron, but that doesn't count).

Quite so. Zooming round the galaxy with a fish in your ear, a towel thrown over your seat, and your hutton mug of coffee sitting on your copy of the guide. And all without the owner of the ship even knowing you're there

 

[Soliluna]

In VR, I approach the planet in every single way possible while staring in awe at the land beneath me and the stars above me.

I think they knew, or at least thought they knew. But with an improbability drive... Well yea. Might indeed say they didn't have a clue, however much they wanted otherwise. It's oh-so-much easier to find out where you might be than try pinpoint where you are when you're not supposed to be there... Basic quantum physics - if you think something is where you think it is, it's not there.

 

[willowfan]

and your hutton mug of coffee sitting on your copy of the guide.

Coffee? Surely a strong hot tea. How else are you going to power your infinite improbability drive?
