That's a terrible name. You can't call a spaceship that isn't a starship, "Starship", because that's mad. Might as well name your cat "dog" or your rabbit "hare" or your Eurasian wolf "North America Timber Wolf".
Sheesh. Just call it Spacey McSpaceface like everyone else...

BFR was an awesome name, no need to change.

ReplyDeleteThis "Starship" will get you 0.0001% closer to the nearest non-Sun star.
ReplyDeleteNelson Brown Humans, or even their robots, have not gone to the stars. The moons, low Earth orbit, a few planets, asteroids, and comets.
ReplyDeleteOne star, though it's the near one. No others.
(That is: I agree. It's just a bit of hubris I've become attuned to recently.)
What, you mean a rabbit isn't a hare?

ReplyDeleteSilaz Carbryck Heathen! It's Rockety McRocketFace!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of 1950's-70's american bicycle with names like Phantom, Meteor, & Streamliner, or Spacelander. Nobody called them what they should have been named: Plodder, Patience, Grinder, or Weightlifter.
ReplyDeleteThe BFR, like it or not, serves as a truck. It's not racing anywhere.
