Recap:
Previously on NASA vs Life on Mars… the “Plastic Relic” was revealed—actually just a water bottle. Jimmy called it trash, Karen begged for mercy, and Flatty turned it into a global meme.
Story:
Dr. Globus banged the podium with fiery passion.
“Today, we bring you the most dangerous Martian lifeform ever detected—the Shadow Beast!”
The projector revealed a rock casting a dramatic shadow that vaguely resembled a monster.
The audience gasped.
Jimmy leaned in and muttered, “Sir… that’s literally just a shadow.”
Karen whispered, “Please, not another PR disaster…”
Globus raised his hands.
“This is an apex predator, proof of advanced life!”
Flatty McTruth stood up, smirking.
“Billions of dollars… to prove Mars has shadows? Congrats, NASA. Next week—aliens confirmed through clouds!”
The hall burst into uncontrollable laughter.
Karen groaned. Jimmy scribbled notes. Globus roared,
“SCIENCE WILL NOT BE MOCKED!”
But it was already too late—#ShadowBeast trended worldwide as the newest cosmic comedy.
