Realists: Yeah, that explanation sounds reasonable.

Conspiracy theorists: Nuh-uh! AAAAYYYYLLLEEEEEUUUUMMMSSS!

Hard-core conspiracy theorists: It’s all fake, Mars isn’t real, and one of the slave workers in the closed set studio where they film this is using this to send us coded messages about the next election, and the real ingredients in sriracha sauce!

Obviously, a mimimmo on a scouting mission.
Perseverance should prepare for an attack of the mimimmi partisans.

Yes, I know, this will be lost to 99.9% of non-Italians, and some Italians too, but it was just too fitting (when reality takes a page from fiction):
