050 Rocket Scientists
I hope this comic can help celebrate the successful launch of MAVEN yesterday, an exciting mission to skim the Mars atmosphere.
But seriously, Curiosity is a secret agent. You won’t be able to unsee it. You’re welcome.
The landing of Curiosity was an incredible accomplishment, and absolutely an inspiration. You may have missed this during the Olympics, but watching these happy nerds will make any day better. (Or skip straight to the party at 3:00).
“Time to see where our Curiosity will take us.” Somebody had that line prepped and ready.
That Curiosity landing gets me right in the feels every time. So amazing.
Also: Hi! Found you from Questionable Content a couple days ago. Instantly added to RSS reader. 🙂
Me too! And thanks, I was very excited to see people lingering a while from the QC ad.
That “Mars” photo looks suspiciously like Arizona…
Is it true that it killed a cat when it landed?
This has to be my favourite strip in the comic so far!
Sheesh, you’re a skeptic, get your facts right! That’s clearly a bowler hat, not a top hat! 🙂
I was just thinking “…Isn’t that a bowler hat?”
03:48 in video:
“Awww, damn, the lander exploded while not one of us was looking at these very important screens…”
