The 'You Can't Just Shoot A Hole Into The Surface Of Mars' meme originates from the 2020 video game DOOM Eternal. During a mission, the character Dr. Samuel Hayden warns the protagonist, the Doom Slayer, that he cannot simply fire a massive weapon into the planet's surface. In typical fashion, the Doom Slayer ignores the warning and immediately executes the action. The meme serves as a celebration of over-the-top action and the trope of ignoring authority to achieve a goal. It is widely used to mock bureaucratic limitations or to showcase a person's determination to do the 'impossible' just because they were told they could not.
