Wanted: Inspiring name for Europe's 2020 Mars rover

Here's your chance to name the European rover that will go to Mars in 2020.

Currently called ExoMars, the six-wheeled robot needs something a bit more engaging and inspiring for when it lands on the Red Planet.

Astronaut Tim Peake is leading the hunt for a great moniker.

He wants everyone to go to a special website set up for the purpose and enter a suggestion. But don't think "Spacey McSpaceFace" is a goer because this is not an online poll.

All ideas will be put before an expert panel and it is they who will make the final choice.

Because of Boaty McBoatface there have been several funnies offered up which are all of a similar ilk but David Bowie, as in Life On Mars, and Major Tom do seem better than Crawly McRockface etc.
