I second motion to name a Space Station after the late and sincerely lamented Robert A. Heinlein. Anyone who cares at all about space probably cut their (<--non-sexist 'third person indefinite' pronoun) teeth on Heinlein's stories. (-:"My opinions should be those of my employers":-)

Naming the space station: How about Arthur C. Clarke ?

How about 'Ricercar' (pronounced reach-er-car). It is the English word for the musical form now called a fugue (a Latin word- through Italian). The roots of the word are the same as for 'research', in fact one of the meanings of the word used to be 'to seek'. This seems to capture the flavor that the space program should work for - both artistic and scientific.

How about "Fred"? Yeah. Fred the Space Station. I like that. --Net.Rabbit

If the space-station was named the "Robert A. Heinlein", would it be called "Bob" for short?? By the way, the list of names I posted is the working list by the naming committee. They are not accepting any new names as of last week. "Roger Houston, Space Station Bob 1, copies. . . ." -- *** mike (Cyberpunk in training) smithwick *** "Use an Atari, go to jail!"

Several people around here have been mispronouncing Mir to rhyme with 'myrrh'. Maybe we should call our station 'Frankincense' :-) (Actually, Mir sounds more like 'mere') - George Kaplan gckaplan@ssl.berkeley.edu gckaplan@sag2.ssl.berkeley.edu ..!ucbvax!ucbssl!sag2!gckaplan
