In article <3449@orbit.cts.com>:
>I. Freedom 2
>II. Von Braun Station
>III. Base Camp Freedom II
>IV. Oz

And somebody else recommended:

>Oscar, after Oscar Meyer.

I mentioned this to a couple of Congressional staffers; both got
a kick out of them. One pointed out that the Ham radio satellite
is named Oscar for the exact same reason (get it, Ham, Oscar Meyer???).

However, one staffer told me that the best name came from a newspaper
who called them: "Brilliant Condoms".
