Recap:
Previously on NASA vs Life on Mars… Marsquakes were declared “proof of alien life.” Jimmy called it plate tectonics, Flatty roasted it, and NASA’s theories collapsed under laughter.

Story:
Dr. Globus stormed onto the stage, eyes blazing.
“Ladies and gentlemen—today we reveal the first Martian animal!”

The screen lit up with a photo of a small, lumpy rock shaped like a snail.
“This,” Globus declared, “is the Snail of Destiny. Proof of life on Mars!”

The audience gasped. Jimmy raised his hand timidly.
“Uh… sir, that’s… a rock. With a funny shape.”

Karen buried her face in her notes.
“Please, not again…”

Flatty McTruth stood up, grinning ear to ear.
“A snail? On Mars? Bro, that’s the same rock I saw in my backyard this morning. I didn’t know aliens ate lettuce!”

The crowd burst into laughter.
Globus waved his arms frantically.
“This is SCIENCE!”

Jimmy whispered to Karen, “More like a snail meme.”
The internet agreed—by nightfall, the “Martian Snail” had gone viral as a cosmic laughingstock.
