added: 8 Aug 2012 // by: CBS Local 

America did it! No, we're not talking about the Olympics we're talking about landing the spacecraft Curiosity on Mars. Now NASA hopes their two-year pioneering mission will lead to signs that life exists on a planet other than Earth.

With all the excitement, celebs took to Twitter to share their thoughts.

Sara Bareilles assured us everything would be okay.

If you see a guy with a faux-hawk in mission control, he's a jerk. Promised me a "WORKING" toilet system. #msl #JGmarsconcert2012
