We have just received a message from our spaceship to Mars. Our spaceship has discovered aliens there. They have never sent us a message because they don’t know how to communicate with us. They have not visited the earth because they don’t know how to fly to our planet, and they prefer life on Mars. They seem very happy on their planet.
