OK, well -- it wouldn't be much of an improvement over Mars Science Lander, but we could always call it Mars Gravity Probe 1...

Hmmm, would Adam West be involved in that somehow?
 Can I start saving up those points to go towards buying Phil's book? Any more on this and I think the mods will have to move this thread to EVA:Chit Chat instead of MSL 2009.

Or we can go the Iain M. Banks way. Some examples:
MSL Nervous Energy MSL No More Mr Nice Guy MSL Profit Margin MSL Of Course I Still Love You MSL Youthful Indiscretion MSL Big Sexy Beast MSL Funny, It Worked Last Time... MSL Gray Area MSL Zero Gravitas MSL Size Isn't Everything -------------------- Antti Kuosmanen
