...must people create these ridiculous forced acronyms/abbreviations? It's just Messenger! The demi-god mercury was the wing-ed messenger. It's good to name the spaceprobe that.

Apollo didn't also stand for Advanced PilOtted Lunar Landing Operation, it was just the god Apollo. <sigh> -- 203.57.68.20 16:42, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
