What would you name a space shuttle?

[Pilot7893]

What would you name one? I'm casting a vote for "Voyager"

 

[MJR]

Explorer.

 

[Urwumpe]

I'd vote for "Alexander von Humboldt" - or short "Humboldt"... taking the name of the ship of his most famous voyage would have been a bit tainted...it was "Pizarro".

(why his name? "Columbus gave Europe a New World; Humboldt made it known in its physical, material, intellectual, and moral aspects." - José Cipriano de la Luz y Caballero)

 

[Pilot7893]

Explorer.

Ooo, that's a good one:yes:

 

[MJR]

I just thought that it would be a good one. I don't have a legitimate reason for it , but it sounds good.

Serenity? C'mon, the trekkies got to name one!

Resolution would be fitting, being another one of Cook's ships, like Endeavour and Discovery; Adventure would work too. Constitution would be good if you wanted a more "patriotic" name. Constellation would be an interesting combination of a famous U.S. ship and an obvious space reference (already taken though).

"Mayflower One" -- Hopefully someone other than me will find that funny.

Resolution was one of the finalist names for OV-105 which later got the name Endeavour.

Serenity.

LOL

She'll never take a re-entry burn... but might hit Worp 0.5

Here's how to make that dream come true:
[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2761"]Shuttle Deluxe 070218[/ame]

In the scenario files, open them with Notepad, and in the description for the shuttle, type in WING_NAME ********* and that name will appear on the sides of the cockpit and on the wing. You could name a shuttle a;dsfhg;akldhf;ghzd;lg!:rofl:

I'm pretty sure the answer was 42...

My shuttle name suggestion is "Bob P. O'Faror".


Quite simply it means: beware of big peices of foam and rubber O-rings...

 

[fresh squid]

My vote..
"Chevy Malibu."
kinda rolls off the tongue dont it?

 

[SiberianTiger]

Чайка (Sea Gull)

 

[reverend]

I've changed my mind... I think we should use something completely original. Something that hasn't been thought of before...

How about The Millenium Falcon?

 

[Mission_CDR]

Explorer.

MJR that is already the name of the mock-up shuttle at Kennedy Space Center.

I would name it Expedition.
