The new Mars Curiosity Rover badge replaces a previous NASA “Explorer” badge on Foursquare featuring the Space Shuttle.
Earlier in October 2012, NASA and Foursquare partnered to have the Mars Curiosity Rover peform the first interplanetary check-in on the Red Planet. NASA and Foursquare’s partnership goes back to 2010, when a NASA astronaut performed the first outer space “check-in” on Foursquare, aboard the International Space Station.
