"Gemini and Apollo crews named their own spacecraft for each mission". I should have said "some" crews .... Thank you for correcting the mistake. We will let it go this time, but if you flub it again, you will pay the penalty: fifty lashes with a wet noodle. ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

In another message, I incorrectly said that: "Gemini and Apollo crews named their own spacecraft for each mission". I should have said "some" crews named their own spacecraft. Gemini 3 was unofficially "Molly Brown", but the names stopped after that until Apollo 9, G4 was "American Eagle", until the naming was kiboshed. They did start coming up with unique patches around then, as a different angle... when NASA needed a way to differentiate between separated Command and Lunar Modules. The initial "Gumdrop", "Spider", "Snoopy", and "Charlie Brown" eventually gave way to more formal names like "Columbia" and "Eagle". But we lost out on Snowcone and Haystack... -- -Andrew Gray |

Scorpio - Not bad! Some manned vehicle designs look like a scorpion That's been used to, for a series of Gemini-like, two-man spacecraft in the mid-'60s. In February 1967, an unmanned version landed by accident in an uncharted south Pacific isle and was subsequently destroyed to keep it out of enemy hands.
