It’s still early in the day, but we’re going to declare it unlikely the reaction to the arrest of a seventh-grader for making a clock is going to get any better than the one this morning from Mike Seibert, who is the lead flight director for the Mars Rover.
Ahmed, I'd be happy to show you how we drive the Opportunity rover. Come visit us at JPL any time. #IStandWithAhmed https://t.co/VtesUugxj3

But, wait, there’s more!
Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It's what makes America great.
