Say that Mankind launches two new spaceships.

[Treeinthewoods]

The Romulan and The Klingon.

SDF-1 and SDF-2.

Very Expensive and Uninsured.

Skywalker and Vader.

 

[kabooz18]

probably "Argon" and "Santa Maria" the first is easy and most of you should know it, the second was the flagship of Christopher Columbus.

 

[Ekonk]

Ike and Leo.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

The We're Coming To Blow You Up and the We're Coming To Take Your Stuff.

Honesty is the best policy!

Barring that, the Ishimura and the Von Braun. Nothing could POSSIBLY go wrong.

 

[emeraldrafael]

HWy would you use two at the same time? Thats just... I dont know.

OT: The Erikson and the Da Vinci

 

[Yan Hunt]

going to go with Bifrost - the viking rainbow bridge, and Avalon - just because that's what we're trying to find

 

[Blitzwarp]

Titanic and Lucitania. Nothing can go wrong with those names.

 

[bubba145]

Freedom and Discovery.
why they are good names.

 

[thestickman88]

one and three. stupid aliens will be searching for eons

 

[Dfskelleton]

Howard and Phillips.
TEKKE LI TEKKE LI TEKKE LI

 

[RoBi3.0]

Since the cancellation of NASA if these ships were to launch from the USA they would more then likely be named

Diet COKE and The iSHUTTLE

 

[Varanfan9]

Mechagodzilla and Destroyah. Just because it is bad ass.

 

[HT_Black]

Adam and Eve; the reasoning is obvious to anyone who's ever been within thirty feet of a Christian.

 

[Hobnobninja]

Absolution (its probably what we shall set out to the stars to find)
Redemption (we'll need it.)

Additionally, these would sound very awesome if you happened to be commanding them - the simple order of "Absolve/Redeem them" would be the signal for some serious fighting....

If Mankind Didn't really launch two spaceships, then why is the topic title "mankind launches two new spaceships?" Are you a games journalist in training?

also, "humankind"

HIPPY! BEAT HIM UNTIL HE CONFORMS!

Anyway. I'm going to have to go with the obvious Enterprise and for the other one, Skullcrusher. So that any species that meets it knows not to mess with us, we named a ship Skullcrusher. It is a ship that crushes skulls. They'd be scared.

And what kind of spaceship would not crush a skull? Do you know the mass of those things?

 

[MartianWarMachine]

Cyberdine and Skynet, for obvious reasons.

Or Titanic and Iceberg, again, for obvious reasons.

The Borealis and The Philadelphia Experiment.

...You see where I'm going with this...

 

[Dorian_Winter]

Firefly and Serenity.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Nostalgia for Infinity and Melancholia for Departure.

+1 Internet for the reference.

Alastair Reynolds. As to that internet, I take checks...

Ah, so sorry, the only thing I have lying around is a series of tubes.

Spoiler: You can have some of those if you want.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Admiral Peary and Commadore Perry.

Yes I did read Homeward Bound, what of it?
