NASA Mission Names
It is amazing to see that pictures of the red planet Mars. It is great that we can all share in the excitement of this new frontier with the technology today. Everyone can get the photos of Mars just as soon as they are released. NASA has a done a remarkable job, on the other hand, NASA needs to work on choosing better names for the their missions. “Spirit” and “Opportunity” sounds like a type of cologne, if it where me it would have been something more edgy, like panther, viper or sabortooth. Anyway it is great accomplishment and exciting to watch, NASA TV has never been more exciting. Visit the mission website for more on the mission.
