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.

The NASA team was the best. So much joy! Well deserved joy! Because they just landed a giant robot on Mars.

I love love love 'Curiosity'. I think they said during the press conference that there was a elementary/middle school competition? And everyone knew Curiosity was right when they heard it.
