I'm pleased, given the efforts the Professor has made in expanding our knowledge of the solar system. It's a pity it couldn't be for more specific discoveries on Mars. Maybe next time.

Does this mean they'll name other asteroids after the rest of the Time Team presenters?

I think you may be confusing Colin with Phil Harding there

no the other one, just after he said "mars eh? Well, I have a cunning plan.."

[Whitters]

A plan so cunning you could cut your teeth on it?
