We're NASA and We Know It

WE’RE NASA AND WE KNOW IT

A TRIBUTE TO THE MARS CURIOSITY ROVER

Crane, lower that rover! Being huge fans of science and technology, the imminent landing of NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover seemed like the perfect opportunity for us to create a video celebrating NASA’s groundbreaking work. We combined the catchy beat of LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know It” with fun, engaging visuals representing NASA’s control room and the Curiosity rover.

The video garnered nearly 3 million views and was broadly reported on by publications such as The Washington Post, Wired, Forbes and NPR. In fact, NASA liked it so much that the Cinesaurus team was invited to visit the Jet Propulsion Laboratory where they were welcomed like rock stars. Quite the role reversal, if you ask us!
