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!

'Roundup' - now that's a much better name.
Aside from the disappearance issue I think it's odd to name a ground vehicle after an aviator. (The first Martian airplane maybe.) 'Louis' would be more appropriate I think: http://www.citroenet.org.uk/resources/book...ssingsands.html Of the finalists we're stuck with I think I could get accustomed to Adventure most easily. |
