I missed this newest Symphony of Science music video which came out last week, but luckily Sean S. was there to help.

That Robert Zubrin guy was kind of right — show people this video, and they’d be lining up coast-to-coast for a Mars mission. Hell, after watching this, I’m ready to take off right now.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
