What are your memorable UMSF phrases and headlines you remember that sent shivers down your spine? Here's my short-list:
Apologies if such a thread already exists and I missed it ...

"At this moment we should be on the ground ... stand-by" (Spirit landing)

"Go Phoenix" (final launch poll)

"We have picked-up the carrier signal from Huygens"

"Given the burn performance so far, we should have entered orbit around Saturn by now" and
"The Doppler has flattened out" (Cassini SOI)

and from manned spaceflight:
"bye bye" ... last comm of crew of Columbia STS-1 before reentry blackout on the maiden shuttle flight
"Challenger ... Houston ... ATO ATO" (abort-to-orbit as one Challenger main engine shuts down prematurely)
