"Everything the light touches is our kingdom" are Mufasa words from 'The Lion King' (1994) --JakubNarebski (talk) 08:39, 27 March 2015 (UTC) - The "You must never go there" line is also from Lion King. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110357/quotes?item=qt0371437 Drmouse (talk) 11:40, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

May someone make this Transcritpt better? 141.101.104.10 08:58, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Hey, thanks to whoever tidied up my explanation 141.101.98.185 11:01, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

I think the second line ("We must never go there") is from the same scene in The Lion King as the first line, not a reference to Space Odyssey . See [[1]] from 0:52 to 1:23. 108.162.216.55 11:04, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

It seems to me to be common currency that the 'missing' word in "one small step" is "a", not "this" (whether as a fluffed line, in the moment, or a temporary radio drop-out over that bare syllable). Also, while it's highly suggested, there's no certainty in the title-text that the new Mars-landing quote necessarily ended in fatality. 141.101.98.192 14:31, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
