NASA's 2011 Mars Science Laboratory rover has a name: Curiosity. Twelve year-old, Clara Ma, of Lenexa, Kansas sent in her suggestion and supporting essay, beating the pants off the other 9000 entries from children around the country. Clara now gets the honor to visit JPL and sign her name on the rover.
Go girl! Being part of space exploration sure makes up for growing up Asian American in KANSAS.
Fly your name to Mars on Curiosity's microchip. Check out the participation map on the page. As of this morning, only 19 people in Wyoming have their names on the microchip. Come on Wyoming, gotta represent!
