Where were you when Curiosity landed on Mars?

“In honor of Curiosity’s touchdown, we made a video spoofing life in the NASA control room,” wrote Alexander Theoharis. “We think the Mars Curiosity rover has the chance to really inspire people to become excited about space, science, and engineering, and so we made this video as a fun, lighthearted, and easily-sharable way to support what NASA is doing and help others get excited about it too.”
