Deep in the Mexican jungle there is a cave called the Cueva de Villa Luz.

It is full of hydrogen sulphide, a gas that smells like rotten eggs and, in high concentrations, is lethal to humans.

Inside the cave strange life-forms have been discovered called Snotties - so named because they resemble drops from a cold nose!

This was the title....

yes...

and btw, “nare” (pronounced ‘nary’) is the singular of nares, aka nostrils...

Very Random thoughts on snot in general and/or more specifically related to the topic of “we are snot alone” follow:

It is my personal belief that during a cold, snot is actually comprised of all the dead and dying brain cells due to the virus...

I guess future space exploration will rely heavily snot rockets.

And future wars against aliens may be able to be fought with Mucinex...

Stock tip o’ the day— buy shares of Kleenex and Puffs. Maybe Charmin toilet paper as a back-up.

Palindrome: tons o snot

“Use the money to search for natural resources.”

I assume you mean natural resources on Mars - but like on Earth, searching is becoming rarer and rarer - while harvesting is not permitted - just someting for distant generation to use and certainly not in the US. So the searching may happen, but the harvesting and use will be by China, Russia, India, Japan, and the EU.

We have homeless to subsidize... :)

"All these worlds are yours. Except Europa. Attempt no landings there."

yeah I don't get it. That should be a primary target but it doesn't seem important to them WHY?
