欧巴马总统打电话给位于加州的喷气推进实验室的火星漫游车工作组成员，祝贺他们完成“极其惊人”的使命。
欧巴马总统8月13日打电话给NASA位于加利福尼亚州帕萨迪纳的喷气推进实验室（Jet Propulsion Laboratory）的火星漫游车工作组成员，祝贺他们完成“极其惊人”的使命。
欧巴马对小组工作人员说：“我们兴奋不已。”“你们能够做到的这些真的让人难以置信。”
欧巴马总统说，“好奇号”（Curiosity）的使命激励了全国各地的少年儿童。
欧巴马说：“你们知道，他们对妈妈、爸爸说，他们要成为执行赴火星使命的成员，甚至要成为漫步火星的第一人。”他还表示，“好奇号”这样的使命所象征的对知识的探求精神是“真正使我们成为最优秀物种的因素——我们具有这种好奇心和这种去发现和增长知识的渴望。”
欧巴马总统也向这项使命的一些负责人表示祝贺，其中包括：喷气推进实验室主任查尔斯·伊拉奇（Charles
Elachi）及帮助设计空中起重机的亚当·斯泰尔茨纳（Adam
Steltzner）；是这台起重机将一吨重的漫游车降到火星表面。

President Obama called members of NASA's Curiosity Mars rover team to congratulate them on the "incredibly impressive" mission.
President Obama called members of NASA's Curiosity Mars rover team at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, August 13 to congratulate them on the "incredibly impressive" mission.
"We could not be more excited," Obama said, telling the team that "it's really mind boggling what you've been able to accomplish."
The president said Curiosity is inspiring children across the country.
"You know, they're telling their moms and dads they want to be part of a Mars mission, maybe even the first person to walk on Mars," Obama said. He also said that the quest for knowledge represented by missions like Curiosity is "really what makes us best as a species, this curiosity that we have and this yearning to discover and know more."
The president congratulated some of the leaders of the effort, including Charles Elachi, the head of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Adam Steltzner, who helped to design the sky crane that lowered the 1-ton rover to the Martian surface.
