And in the end, IAU is going to look awfully silly. When Mars is settled by human beings, the settlers will bestow their own names on local features (as humans always do). It is those names, not the formal scientific names bestowed by IAU or the informal names sold by Uwingu, that will go down in history books. Many of those will be names that IAU would not approve. There will be names like \u201cBroken Axle Crater\u201d (just as the American West is filled with place names like \u201cDead Mule Gulch.\u201d).
