The Canadian Space Agency is polishing up Canada’s first lunar rover, and the people there are giving you an opportunity to help name it.
Until Friday December 20, you can hop on the CSA website and choose from four options. Sadly, Spacey McSpaceface is not one of them. You’ll have to go with Athabasca, Courage, Glacier, or Pol-R; the website has explanations for each of those.
The robotic contraption will be a part of international efforts to locate water ice, which is deemed important to the future of space exploration. It’ll also serve as a technology testbed, and will map the geology and environment.
Love, Dr. Scott James
