Why would that lead to shoving a quote anywhere? Much of the marvel of this photo is the unusual circumstances around it.

We’ve already got photos of the moon.

This, afaik, is the first photo we have a lander that suffered a significant complication in the landing but was still able to deploy a rover to take a picture.
