The Mohawk Guy, aka Bobak Ferdowsi, an employee at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, became famous the night Curiosity made its picture-perfect landing on Mars when cameras zoomed in on his hairdo. He's a Systems Engineer and Science Planner. Since the landing he's been on talk shows, gotten marriage proposals and even a shout-out from the President.

The only thing this picture needs is a caption. In fact, it's crying out for a caption and I'm not having much luck coming up with one. So let's have a contest. Winner is the comment with a caption suggestion that gets the most recs.
