I need something translated into florid Spanish?

I'm writing a sci-fi book. In it, as a historical footnote, is a quote from the next person to set foot on the moon. This will occur (in the book) on the 200th anniversary of the first moon landing, and the fellow who makes that next historic footprint will be a native Spanish speaker.

His words for the occasion will translate as:

"At last our footprints again leave our mother Earth"

I don't particularly care what flavor of Spanish is used, but I do want to be sure the translation holds water. I don't particularly trust Babelfish for this!

Oh, his name, at least tentatively, is Gaspar Eutimio De La Vega. Chosen with guided randomness from internet resources. Is that a believable name to someone with fluency in the tongue?

Thanks!

    Al fin nuestras huellas de nuevo dejan la Madre Tierra.

    Never heard of the name Eutimio before. Very original

    Por fin, nuetras huellas nuevamente dejan nuestra madre Tierra.

    BTW, Gaspar is OK.

    Never heard of anybody called 'Eutimio'.

    De la Vega reminds me of Zorro.

    And not all native Spanish speakers have first and middle name. What you may find, but not in every country, is the use of two last names.

    Such as Gaspar Fernandez de la Vega.

    “En el último nuestras huellas dejan otra vez nuestra madre tierra”

    means

    “In the last our tracks leave again to our mother earth”

    I hope this helps.
