ETA: Did you know Neil deGrasse Tyson had a whole conversation with Curiosity via Twitter? He did, it's basically the most adorable thing ever.

I think it's the air crane part that impressed me most.

It was amazing. ANOTHER PLANET YOU GUYZ. <3

May or may not have teared up watching the NASA team break into hugs/tears/handshakes/cheers/high-fives/great joy.

*draws hearts*

And "Curiosity" is the best name ever. Saw it had a Twitter feed, but not that Neil deGrasse Tyson was talking to it. Hee!
