    Lyrics:
    When I EDL, time for seven minutes of flamin’ hell
    Rover’s touchin’ down
    everybody passin’ peanuts around, yeah
    We’re at mission control, getting full use outta ev-er-y Sol (wa!)
    Just 25 feet left to go
    It’s Curiosity, look out below (yo)

    Crane lower that rover (ah)
    Crane lower that rover (ah)
    Crane lower that rover (ah)

    N-N-N-Now bug out!

    Crane lower that rover
    Crane lower that rove
    Crane lower that rover

    Now bug out!

    Kickin’ it at my con(sole), this is what I see (okay)
    Data streaming back from curiosity
    I got stars on my ‘hawk
    and I ain’t afraid to show it (show it, show it, show it)
    We’re NASA and we know it

    We’re NASA and we know it

    (Yo)
    When I look for ice, gotta calibrate, gotta be precise
    And when I raise the mast, panoramic views are unsurpassed (wha?)
    This is how I rove, baking red rocks in my nuclear stove
    We headed to the peak, with my laser eye
    No one to bury me when it’s time to die (ow!)

    Crane lower that rover
    Crane lower that rover
    Crane lower that rover

    Now bug out!

    Crane lower that rover
    Crane lower that rover
    Crane lower that rover

    Now bug out!

    Shoutout to Carl the Sage (and) Neil Degrasse T (B.A.!)
    Shoutout to JPL and the Rocker-Bogie
    We’re better than SpaceX
    And we ain’t afraid to show it (show it, show it, show it)
    We’re NASA and we know it
    We’re NASA and we know it

  • We Are the Explorers

    We Are the Explorers

    Why do we explore? Simply, it is part of who we are, something we’ve done throughout history. NASA’s new video, “We Are the Explorers,” looks at that tradition of reaching for things just beyond our grasp, and how it’s helping lay the foundation for our greatest journeys ahead.
