I have a new hobby. When I’m not reading about space or writing about space or drawing pictures of space, you can probably find me in my basement building Lego things. Specifically, I’m building Lego space things.
This is my first official creation for my new Lego space program: a Mars rover.
Rover begins exploring Martian landscape.
In real life, there have been a total of four Mars rovers: Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity, and Curiosity. I did not design mine to look specifically like any of them.
Rover reports the surface of Mars is soft and fuzzy.
As a result, I don’t have a name for this little guy.
Rover determines that the surface of Mars is composed of 100% polyester and is “machine washable.”
So before I send my Lego rover to Lego Mars (which will surely take me a while to build), I want to get some suggestions. I’m asking for input from the public, as NASA might say.
So what do you think my Mars rover should be named?
Departing from Nasa’s traditional naming convention, and taking inspiration from popular media, how about Weir?

Oh, nice pick. I hadn’t thought of approaching it from that angle.

So cool! I’m inspired to break out the legos now!

I’d sort of forgotten how much fun they can be.

[…] fun. Even better, do something creative. Like coloring. Or writing poetry. Or playing with Legos (my new favorite). Even something like redecorating your workspace can engage your creative […]
