For a $2.5 billion science project, NASA’s Curiosity rover (and its team) have put quite a bit of effort into keeping relevant on the web, and the social team may have outdone itself today. NASA has posted an animated GIF of the rover wiggling its wheels on Mars, the latest in a long line of tests before Curiosity can embark on its first mission.

Let’s just hope all of this fun is backed up by some important discoveries.
