successful spacecraft have to be either named something really cool and mythological, or something incredibly autistic like the Modular Orbital Populsion and Habitation Apparatus Block 2a

if you try to name it something like starship or starliner it is doomed from the start

you can just tell, “this was named by a room full of absolute nerds” or “this was named by marketing executives paid NASA’s annual budget per week”
@winter just checked on the Artemis hashtag- it seems they’re entering the phase of lunar flight you named your instance after 🌒
@BeamsAndBows still hours away from the burn but so excited
@winter TBH they would do better paying the nerds! NASA has some killer backronym game
@psistarpsiii wordplay really should be financially rewarded

@winter
So my planned

Manned
European
Distributively
Unified
Service
Annex

For the ISS (or whatever space station is still in orbit when it’s done) is twice as safe? 😁

@Landa as long as nobody makes eye contact with it

@winter that made me dream that looking up into the sky wasn't safe anymore because of a Blofeld Expy villain putting Medusa's head on a pedestal in the middle of Tycho crater.

Admittedly, I can only blame myself for that.

@Landa it would be a tragic loss but we could always deorbit the LRO to destroy it
@winter Thanks, I'l make a note of that for my subconscious :D
