Why in the fuck other than for the plot would the epitaph of the first person on Mars include that he was named after his failson uncle who presumably died before he was born? By that point literally who cares? I got my middle name from my grandfather but that doesn't mean it's going on my tombstone.
It was probably because he attributed most of his success to a lucky charm he received from his father that had originally belonged to his uncle. If I was super successful and thought the main reason why was because my dead uncle had left me some magic totem of success I’d probably leave a shrine to the dude.
The only thing stopping man from walking on Mars right now is that we lack the seven leafy clover. We're up to five and a half now
In all seriousness, I had a 6 leaf clover.
That should at least get you to the moon.
