"Becomes an internet sensation. Too busy landing a robot on Mars to notice."
This is Bobak Ferdowsi, the activity lead and flight director on the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity mission. He chooses a new hairstyle for every mission. And every one of them look good, 'cause they're sitting on top a badass! Bobak Ferdowsi's Mohawk Blows Up Twitter As NASA's Curiosity Rover Lands On Mars
And I can't resist one more...

I was reading Alan Boyle's article at http://cosmiclog.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/08/06/13147686-nasas-mohawk-guy-marvels-at-newfound-fame-and-mars-mission
and came across the embedded link to this thread in this sentence: And there's a widely distributed LOL picture with the caption, "Becomes an Internet sensation ... Too busy landing a robot on Mars to notice."

And there'd be some serious chemistry. |

Yeah, mac, that's America. And those people just put a big hole in the lie that "we can't build things, we can't do things, we can't dream things anymore" We can. We did. THEY did. Including the woman with the bandana, the Deadhead, and the guy with the Mohawk. |
