... at least today... because the newest rover, curiosity, successfully landed on mars! how exciting was that event to watch live!?! what amazingly crazy technology.
a friend also sent me this shot of a funny conversation he had with his brother :)
it seems that the mohawk hair style (or "mohican" as they say in the UK, apparently!) has made a random resurgence for the landing of the curiosity rover on mars. the flight director on the mars science laboratory curiosity mission, bobak ferdowsi, got a lot of attention for his colorful do - he cuts his hair differently for every mission. well-played, sir!
i'm in tuscon right now at the ASP science communication meeting and at our party to watch the landing last night, one enthusiastic volunteer sported a fantastic mohawk as well!

Saying "skycrane has started" without laughing was the key requirement for the mission.
