Response to Grandson.

When I was about 40 years old, I helped discover this new idea and theory behind experimental development of carbon based life-forms. I traveled to Mars with a group of scientists and astronauts in the new highly advanced space shuttles funded by the new and improved NASA Space Program. If it wasn't for me traveling to Mars with the smartest men on the Earth, giving them refreshments and cleaning up after them, they might have starved or gotten really upset and unkempt. Those men owe their taste buds and hydration levels to me.
