Twitchy told you about Bobak Ferdowsi, the NASA hunk and mission flight director with the patriotic “Stars and Stripe” mohawk earlier tonight during our live coverage of the Curiosity rover landing. The landing is over, but hearts are still afire as Bobak Fever grows.

I'd let that be-mohawked NASA dude land his rover on my red planet any time. #MSL

Ferdowsi’s Twitter follow count exploded tonight:
@RodneyRamsey Gotta admit, Mohawk dude's kinda hot. He'll have groupies now. We'll see him on Science Channel's "Behind the Science" someday

Gotta love when social media decides what’s buzzworthy and when — instead of, say, the time-warped dinosaurs who may get around to it after the next sleep cycle:
Please don't tell me how the Mars landing went. I'm going to watch NBC's coverage of it tomorrow in prime time.
— Paul Ogata (@PaulOgata) August 6, 2012
Genius! RT @mikerotman: I'm excited to watch the Mars landing tomorrow night on NBC!
— Josh Negrin (@joshnegrin) August 6, 2012
RT @johnmoe: No one tell me how the Mars Rover landing goes! I'm watching next Thursday's coverage on NBC!
