I think MSL should be given a better name! Like what it was done with the MER rovers(Spirit-Opportunity). We could propose some! I propose the names "Eureka!" and "Innovation". What about you? We could then(after some months maybe) vote for the best of them!

That's what I'm trying to tell myself as well Stu.
I'm sure whatever is chosen will seem right in few years. But right now I'm struggling to decide which is the least worst. -------------------- |

I'm sure whatever is chosen will seem right in few years. Even if it's "Sunrise"??? I don't think I could ever grow accustomed to that. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.

Even if it's "Sunrise"??? I don't think I could ever grow accustomed to that. I think we need to look at the demographics - lots of PIs and engineers must have been studying during the years of Flower Power. We've already got a "Spirit" on Mars - now that's a Hippy name if ever I heard one. "Dawn"s already in space. "Sunrise" is therefore perfect. Next week Phobos-Grunt will be renamed "Moon Unit". I betcha. Andy |
