As we all know, the hardest part of creating a new rocket is naming it, closely followed by creating the vehicle logo
![]() The choices are: Eagle Freedom GalaxyOne Vote for the one you think is best, or the least bad. Just vote damn it. Edit March 26th: Two new options, as follows: Vulcan Zeus Last edited by Galactic Penguin SST; 04-17-2015 at 05:54 AM. Reason: The name has been selected ;) |

I don't like any of the names either. GalaxyOne sounds silly and the other choices are too nationalistic for me, particularly Freedom*. However, out of those three I'd choose Eagle because of it shares the name of the Apollo 11 lunar module.
Naming a launch vehicle after something celestial/mythological is the most appropriate option, like Titan, Atlas, Taurus, Saturn, etc. Actually, Falcon 9 isn't bad so Eagle's pretty decent on its own. *Thinking about it, it means the US will literally launch Freedom into space regularly.

Out of the group, Eagle. Especially if they throw in a reference to the Apollo 11 LM...

IMHO, the names must be:
Delta V or Atlas VI... |

I'd have gone for Jupiter if LM hadn't stolen it first.

shhhhh... don't say anything but it kinda seems like there are no limits to voting. Here's a funny story:
I used my my "legitimate" vote to vote for Eagle, generally agreeing with folks on here... but then, the pole just stayed there on the screen... and GalaxyOne just seemed so amazing all of a sudden. So I voted for it about a hundred times. ![]() |

Eagle sounds the best out of all three.
