Spacecraft-name ideas.

Every time I do a mission I name the rocket a name that suits its destination mythological figure. Like I named my Mars spacecrafts Kratos (Space station), Ares Orbiter and Rover, Heracles, Odysseus, stuff like that.

Also I did a Titania landing using an orbit-built ship to Uranus, and named it The Prometheus, which sounds epic, but after some researching what the Greek god Ouranos' abode was, I named the ship The Heavens Above, which sounds even epic-er, then back to The Prometheus since I wanted to save that title for a different Uranus mission.

This is the first "main-rocket" I ever made. (Also my experience/timeline of playing SFS)

I'm surprised I even remember this quite clearly since I've been playing Spaceflight Simulator for a few years now, since I was like what 12 or even 11. That much time passed, I had a phase where I just didn't play it, since my cousins "bullied" (not like calling me a nerd, [but I think my little-r cousin called me one], but just shortly laughing about off) me, so I gave it a break. I used to play it for at least more than one minute EVERYDAY before that. I returned to it for a while more until I got bored. I checked up on it a few times every now and then to see if a new update arrived.

Then one month ago, I randomly saw the 1.6 update on my feed... and I felt like my soul, my very being was going to lift into the sky like an actually rocket... I almost shed a tear! "It's enough to make a grown-man cry!" I said both seriously and jokingly. Now I'm back on a new world,

For examples:

Mars: Ares Rover and Ares Orbiter

Rhea: Cronus (lander)

Iapetus: Tartarus (lander)

Enceladus: Etna and Oceanus (orbiters)

Titan: Gaia (lander), and Shangri La Floatater (floaty thing)

Pan: Hermes (elliptical orbiter)

Then I'm thinking of naming a small Titan space station (not made yet) Herschel Station.
