That's hardly a more exciting name. "Investigator"? Why not "Sam Spade"? But there are plenty of names to choose from if one wants more of the same. Some names belong to other countries' history. Thus, if Canada were ever to get involved, "Voyageur" and "Courieur-de-bois" might be possibilities (Voyager, of course, and Woods-runner). John Savard |

CLARKE SIR EDMUND HILLARY RAY BRADBURY CARL SAGAN But we get "Curiosity". Ugh. Brian |

Hmmm, The "Sir Arthur C Clarke" ought to be kept for the first rotating manned station, the "Sir Edmund Hillary" for a rover heading up Mount Olympus and didn't one of the Viking landers get a retrospective "Carl Sagan"? Bradbury and his sand yachts would be good though. Anthony |
