What should we name NASA’s new Mars Rover?
During a surprise press conference on Dec. 4, NASA announced plans for the new rover that will launch to Mars in 2020.
The previous rover was named as Curiosity. It costs $2.5 billion.
To keep costs down, engineers will borrow Curiosity's blueprints, recycle spare parts where possible and use proven technology including the novel landing gear that delivered the car-size rover inside an ancient crater in August.
But many other details still need to be worked out, including where the rover will land and the types of tools it will carry to the surface.
Awesome, right?
If you have suggestion for this new rover's name, you can use hashtag #newmarsrovernames on Twitter.
Who knows NASA will pay you for it? ;D
