Blend4Web, NASA and the Curiosity Rover

Dear customers and the Blend4Web community!
We are glad to inform you about a remarkable Blend4Web-powered project recently released by NASA. To celebrate the 3rd anniversary of Curiosity, the famous Mars rover, landing on the red planet, NASA has developed a web application to reflect the most prominent moments of this space mission. This app is both very informative and intriguing: you can move the rover, control its cameras and the robotic arm and even take a selfie!

Outstanding, though it makes sense when one considers the awesomeness that is Blend4Web.
Wouldn't load in IE for Windows10 (sticks at about 30%), loaded in Firefox no problem.

I was working for Larrivee guitars when the ISS acoustic guitar was made and sent up to the space station, and now I can say I was part of the B4W community when NASA made this! Congratulations! Maybe I should get some tutorials together to help the inevitable onslaught of new users, I will soon need a fall season project to fill my time.

Would it be possible to get access to the sources of the curiosity project?I'm not sure about the current plans of NASA in relation to this app. However, it may be possible since they practice open sourcing their projects a lot.
