The astronauts looked down at their feet and were stunned.
Many green, little-orange-like things had been crushed beneath their feet, their juices slowly seeping out.
"This... really seems to be a plant." One astronaut was trembling all over.
"It looks... very much like some kind of plant, but it could also be an animal, an insect, or a fungus," another astronaut added.
The six astronauts looked up at the vast plains around them and let out the same astonished cry!
Hundreds of millions of green little oranges!
It was practically an ocean!
A light drizzle was falling, landing on those little oranges. The little oranges quickly absorbed the water and swelled even further.
James carefully bent down and pinched one of the little oranges.
"Careful!" his companion cried out.
"Relax, they should be harmless." As James spoke, he pulled hard and uprooted one little orange. He held it in his hand for inspection, then gently broke it apart to examine the inside.
"Guys, I can confirm that this really is some kind of plant." James's voice trembled with excitement. "There is life on Mars! Mars is green because of the explosive growth of this plant!"
NASA held a press conference.
The contents of the press conference were explosive.
The green on Mars's surface was caused by some kind of plant covering it!
Photos and videos sent back by James were shown at the conference.
Very quickly, photos of the lush green Mars began spreading like wildfire across the Internet worldwide!
This was nuclear-bomb-level news, and people were discussing it almost everywhere.
"Fuck! Mars is covered in plants!"
"What the hell is this plant called? Can you eat it?"
"Vegetables are the worst!"
"@NASA, what kind of plant is this?"
"Yeah, hurry up and give it a name! How about Mars
