UPDATE: A bit delinquent, on our part, but Mark Posen, a team sponsor of Synergy Moon, an official competitor for the Google Lunar X-Prize, has written to corrected an earlier report on their contest to name the team's landing vehicle.It's the Lander, not the Rover.
Mr. Posen of eacademy.com Emailed more than a week ago to say the multinational Synergy Moon team is sponsoring a contest not to rename it's Tesla Robotic Rover but rather, the team's Lander.
"I am proud and happy to be a member of Synergy Moon, and a team sponsor," Posen had written "and I hope my friends and colleagues here at Ecademy will share my enthusiasm for this project and have a go at this contest to try and name our Lunar Lander."
"Join our Facebook Cause, post your idea for a name for our lander, along with a donation to the cause! After names are submitted, we will have a series of votes to narrow down the choices and finally pick a name! If we raise enough funding through this cause, it will become the official name of the lander."

Four days ago, Mr. Posen wrote, thanking us for the mention, and saying "you can read about the contest (and enter too) via the Synergy Moon Facebook page: http://apps.facebook.com/causes/posts/334682"
