If the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory were a rock band, Bobak Ferdowsi would fill the role of lead singer. The NASA flight director captured the attention of the Internet with his out-of-this-world patriotic hairdo. Ferdowsi’s red and blue streaked mohawk complete with yellow stars on the side of his head stood out in a room of blue polo shirts and newscaster dad hair.
Ferdowsi achieved nearly instant meme superstar status as fan art, screen caps and requests for Reddit AMAs spread faster than a Curiosity thumbnail from Mars. Tumblr page “F*ck Yeah, Bobek Ferdowsi” popped up overnight and has been curating the best of Bobek fandom.
