NASA currently has a budget of billions of dollars and Lena Paul - The Next Morningis working hard on too many missions to list, including future space travel and climate change and yet -- AND YET -- they were still forced to take time out of their day to deny a mind-numbingly asinine conspiracy that's basically "PizzaGate on Mars."

Yes. Someone has accused NASA of being ringleaders of a child slave colony on Mars.

If you're brain just melted and leaked out your ears leaving you in a catatonic state just from reading that last sentence, congrats, you're not alone.

I'm not even going to say who first brought the conspiracy theory up because 1) you can probably guess it in one try and 2) I am not going to even dignify that ass with mentioning their name.

The idea that this conspiracy theory could even gain steam is one big advertisement for why we should just delete everything.

That NASA had to spend one single second, had to expand the energy to simply pick up the phone and say no to this conspiracy theory is a good reason to shut down America for good this Fourth of July.

A kinder soul would say, hey, it's possible these people saw a clip of Galaxy Queston YouTube and thought it was real before taking things to the next level.

NASA, by its very nature, is an incredibly transparent organization. They are also not in the business of child slave colonies.

But NASA doeshave dozens on dozens of missions like the Mars Curiosity rover which is something that is really and truly on Mars and making amazing scientific discoveries.

So let this be the end of it.

Don't believe conspiracy theories and stop wasting NASA's time with them because they have so much more important stuff to do than acknowledging every rant that echoes on a dark corner of the internet.

And may God have mercy on our souls.
