Tonya,
Did you know that Lego is assisting with the www.redrovergoestomars.org website?
Lego ran the competition to name MER-1 and MER-2 as "Spirit" and "Opportunity".
If you go to the planetary society's website, and look at archives pertaining to
naming the rover, you'll see pics of Kjeld and Brad Justus with the contest
winner....
