"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!

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."

I love me some hot scientists. I think it's because my history PhD brain simply doesn't understand how their science PhD brains work at all.

Look, a guy with long gray hair! And did you see the woman? With the bandana?
