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

My Dad works at NASA and he was laughing so hard!

[michaelpagels]

Back in the day when being cool was OK.

[pandabby]

1:42 - my fiance and I were in the background watching (he was in green shirt and tan shorts and I was just to the left of him in white shirt and blue pants) wondering what the heck was going on. Kinda cool to see that we wound up in a famous video that has gone viral ! Nicely done, Satire ! And thanks for letting us be an unintentional part of your video !!

[danedmonds]

i imagine this is how things go down at nasa but much worse

[spaceguy]

I was expecting this to be awful since I'm into space exploration but I was laughing so hard!!!!

[ColinRitter]

I saw a mockup of Curiosity at The National Air and Space Museum. It's almost as big as my compact car. And it's on Mars.

[walkingbird]

This has to be the vid of the year - omg - I have not seen that much fun in a very long time. Many thank yous. LOVE IT!!

[justjoe]

[Dost]

Who is watching this in 2022? 10 years later...

[stephen]

My dad showed this to me eleven years ago and i still come back to watch it every once in a while

[lifesimulator]

Might wanna update this to "We're SpaceX and we know it"

[Destroyah]

Love how this just a funny parody yet there are so many scientific debates going on here.

[wolverinefan]

"better than SpaceX" haha I love to see some friendly competition between those two

[rdococ]

This video is not available? NASA probably took it down :p

[lyndaleopold]

Fabulous! I just saw this in a video rating survey I just took. I had to search it out and watch it again. And again. I see something new every time I see it. Nicely done.

[dmsD]

i keep rewatching this over and over again
