Twitter Reactions to Mars Curiosity Rover Landing

Reactions to the successful landing of the Mars rover, Curiosity.

The Mars curiosity rover landed successful on Mars around 10:32pm August 5 PT/1:32am August 6 ET. Here some reactions from Twitter users:

Hal 9000: Exactly 67 years after dropping a nuclear powered device on Hiroshima, America drops nuclear powered device on Mars #Curiosity

Ji Sung Park: curiosity just landed on Mars, The Decepticons just awoke and now we're all going to die, nice one NASA

Supreme Dalek: The only REASON @MarsCuriosity tweeted a low RESOLUTION IMAGE was so you cannot SEE the Ice WARRIOR they landed on. MURDERS.

Someone made a Kardashian joke:

Kathy Griffin: #Curiosity lands on MARS and the Kardashians are still HERE? Wtf#NASA?

Others added politics into the mix (of course):

Ruth Waytz: Worth pointing out: both the #Olympics & #Curiosity are still cheaper than a month fighting in Iraq & Afghanistan.

Max Bunny Sparber: You know where I want my tax money to go? I want it to go to this: http://i.imgur.com/B8mDT.gif #mars #curiosity

Still, some made jokes: 

Ofni Smith: Ooops. There WAS Life on Mars. One single cat. Sadly, NASA's#Curiosity landed on it and killed it. 

Matthew Jackson: You realize that Michael Bay is watching #curiosity anxiously and praying for giant robots.

Elizabeth Rozyskie: Rejoice ye space nerds for your Monday hangover makes you like the rest of us & praying for more weekend
