Friday on Twitter, Commander Chris Hadfield (previously) announced a Halloween costume contest for the cool kids who choose to dress as an astronaut. Great idea!

And her son is made up to look like like NASA engineer Bobak Ferdowsi, who wore a red, white, and blue mohawk during Curiosity’s historic landing on Mars.
@Cmdr_Hadfield I hope this quailfies! My son's wheelchair costume - Mini Bobak, and Mars Rover Curiosity! pic.twitter.com/q8h6FrGiSr
