When the NASA rover Curiosity landed on Mars this week, what else piqued a fair amount of interest online?

Answer: the "NASA mohawk guy"

During the NASA rover Curiosity's successful landing on Mars, the livestream and TVcoverage showed both the rover's journey and Mission Control overseeing the landing. At Mission Control was Activity Lead Bobak Ferdowsi -- whose hairdo consists of a red and blue tinged mohawk, with yellow stars dyed on the side of his head. It was Ferdowski -- deemed the "NASA mohawk guy" -- who, the Huffington Post reports, quickly caught the focus of viewers.
