Mohawk Guy Bobak Ferdowsi Gets Shout-Out From President Obama
NASA's most meme-friendly Mars rover flight director, Bobak Ferdowsi, 32, also known as "Mohawk Guy," shot to stardom last weekend when the press covering the rover Curiosity's successful touchdown zeroed in on his eye-catching, stars-and-stripes hairstyle.
Over the next 24 hours, Mohawk Guy inspired a Tumblr, received several online marriage proposals and at last count, had more than 50,000 Twitter followers. Now it seems, even POTUS has jumped on the mohawk band wagon.
President Obama reached out to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in a phone call Monday, broadcast on NASA TV.
"I understand there is a special mohawk guy working on the mission," Obama said. "I thought about getting a mohawk myself but my team keeps on discouraging me. Now that he's received marriage proposals and thousands of twitter followers, I'm now going to go back to my team and see if it makes sense."

You should send that to him. 
Maybe even an earring.
Well done!
