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!

I voted too - I went for Sunrise first (because it suggests birth or awakening) - and there's already a Dawn out there, so it fits.
If I had to put forward my own they would be :

Beatrix (name means "Voyager through Life") - or Beatrice, Beatriz - any variation Beatrix is the name of our Dutch queen, and Amelia is the name of one of her granddaughters, so I guess a lot of Dutch would feel very proud with these names for MSL Personally, if MSL had to be named after some person, I would vote for Darwin, as has been mentioned here already, but that name would probably be controversial and that alone once again clearly shows the problem with naming spacecraft after historical persons or mythical entities... |
