Hi Steve, this is a tiny point to make, but my Inner Pedant can be quite insistent:

I'm not well-versed in Latin, but shouldn't the last word of your phrase be "terram", since it's in the accusative case? Pardon me if I'm wrong. And - personal taste - if you're going to use "terra" as the name of the planet, i.e. a proper noun, I'd think you'd have to capitalise it.

But the phrase doesn't really have a punch, does it? If you want Latin, what about a translation of phrases like "In the name of Earth" or "For Earth's sake"? (But there, my Latin lets me down.)
