Known variously as “Mohawk Guy” (thanks to Barack Obama) and “the sexiest nerd at Nasa”, Bobak Ferdowsi might just be the most famous man working in space who has not actually been to space. Not only did he land the Curiosity Rover on Mars, but he got his own meme in the process.
Speaking about the mission at Pioneer’s Festival in Vienna, Ferdowsi says “we hit the first part bang on the head — we found out within six months, that yes, Mars could have supported life”.
