Seems an appropriate usage as any. Cool, refreshing science.
I love how the stream mainly just shows the scientists high-fiving everyone loolll. I can totally imagine them riding mechanical bulls and getting shitfaced on champagne later.

We've come a long way since the days of the Viking Program.
Probably not as long as we wished but a long way all the same.

That's actually not from Curiosity. It's from the Sprint rover, and was taken in 2005.
But this is from Curiosity
