Say that Mankind launches two new spaceships.

Fate Amenable to Change

Anticipation of a New Lover's Arrival, The

But really, I prefer this:

Asimov and Clarke

 

[Serioli]

'Non-humans rock'

'Non-humans suck'

See which one gets noticed and fully interpreted first....

 

[Mcupobob]

Ragnarök
Apocalypse
And a third I shall call Rapture. The Galaxy shall FEAR ME!!!

 

[lolandrew4]

The Edge of Knowledge and the Chariot of God, I dunno, I don't feel very creative right now

 

[voidfalcon]

Orpheus and Odysseus because they both had epic journeys. dude went into hell with a harp man. A HARP. well okay, a lyre.

 

[aashell13]

Hmm. I'd say 'Prometheus' and 'Argo' for the first two, and save 'Enterprise' for the third or forth, so by then all the teething problems have been worked out and some upgrades made.

 

[That's Funny]

Death and Destruction, if you're melancholy like me.

Or maybe Burton and Depp.

Ship 1: We come in peace...

Ship 2: Now its on MotherF****r!

 

[DancePuppets]

Nostalgia for Infinity and Melancholia for Departure.

+1 Internet for the reference.

Nostalgia for Infinity is the ship from Revelation Space, which is an awesome book! No idea about the other one though.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

Or Pride of Shepard and Fist of Wrex

YES

OT:

Maybe:

Ship #1: Alpha

Ship #2: Omega

"Mr. Alien Overlord, this ship *points to first ship* is the begining of our relationship. This other one *points to second ship* will be the end of your civilization."

I'd name the first Tolstoy's Reflections and the second Touch of Humanity.
The second one would have a Death Star laser as it's secondary weapon

 

[goldkiros]

Ship 1: Sol's Vision
Explorer/Defense ship

Ship 2: Animus ex Pax
(Peace/Diplomacy ship)

 

[Alade]

Normandy and Gaia

Herp and Derp

Only logical decision.
