The world has had endless debates around the existence of aliens or other supernatural beings, and people have happily binged on sci-fi movies like 'E.T: The Extra-Terrestrial' and 'Alien: Covenant' and we won't lie, but 'Koi…Mil Gaya' too. 

While, we love to hear the conspiracy theories and instances where aliens or UFOs were spotted, there's no one who firmly believes or denies their presence. But, Budweiser does not like to take chances. It's always prepared for every kind of situation, even if it means sending beer to mars.

If SpaceX and their claims are to be believed, then Mars might see its first settlers arrive between 2022 and 2024. 

First opportunity to land BFR with cargo on Mars is 2022, followed by BFR crew and cargo missions to Mars in 2024. https://t.co/kCtBLPbSg8

Maybe, Budweiser realised that when newcomers will inhabit Mars, there has to be some sort of welcome drink to kickstart the celebrations. So, folks get ready for some trippy AF pictures of the red planet with astronauts and Martians having their own 'Hold My Beer…' moment. 

Earlier this year when Budweiser announced that it wishes to be the first beer company on Mars, there were many who laughed at them and took it as a joke. Fast forward to the present time and the joke is now on all those who laughed earlier, as the company has now announced that it is planning to send barley to Mars, on the International Space Station. 

Reportedly, the company and some researchers will commence two barley experiments with the help of SpaceX's upcoming cargo mission, which is scheduled to leave on December 4 from Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The barley will stay in the orbit for a month and it will be analyzed once it is brought back.

In case you guys are still thinking all of it to be a joke with us bursting the bubble in the end, see what the Budweiser VP had to say about this ambitious mission. According to a statement, Ricardo Marques was quoted saying, “Budweiser is always pushing the boundaries of innovation and we are inspired by the collective American Dream to get to Mars.” He further added, “We are excited to begin our research to brew beer for the red planet.

Well, the company seems to be all set to raise their mugs to toast on Mars, where people are expected to move soon. In fact, their goal is to supply “a colonized red planet the same enjoyments provided here on Earth.” Well, we can't wait for the aliens to send messages on Earth to supply them with 'chakhna' i.e. snacks and a compilation of 'Despacito', 'Shape of You' and Daler Mehndi songs. 

If only Budweiser had come up with this idea two years back, things would have been easier and sorted for Matt Damon, who was struggling to survive after being stranded on the red planet.
