We started off that way. Our first three programs were...
Mercury
Gemini
Apollo
Our rocket names carry on that way.
Thor
Minotaur
Titan
Atlas
etc...
Nothing wrong with the Chicoms doing that from my perspective. It’s better than the old Soviet way of Soyuz (Union), Foton (Photon), Luna (moon), etc. Pretty dry naming convention.
Thank you so much! I suppose you’re right. Every country should give names to their space equipment as it sees fit.
If those names are important to them, well, it’s “none of my beeswax.”
Thanks again for your post. Just so tired of having to face the one existential threat after another.
I think President Trump was one of the only presidents who didn’t age dramatically in office. Says a lot about his love for America and his stamina/work ethic.
