Say that Mankind launches two new spaceships.

[Jabberwock xeno]

Ego

and

Animus

Two vessels that show the culmination of what it is to be human: pride, wonder, and self deterimantion.

 

[Rex Fallout]

Hmm this would be hard, but I've always liked greek names given to ships, so maybe Zeus I and Jupiter I. Then again, maybe not. NOPE! I take that back, I'd name one, Minerva and the second one Tesla,(after one of my favorite heros of all time) Yeah, that'd work. But if that couldnt happen I'd totally be up for naming them after famous super heros like superman and Gambit. Yeah, any of those names would do.

 

[trooperpaul]

1. The Companion Cube, for obvious reasons.
2. We Got Bored And Forgot To Name This One

 

[Genixma]

Government and Anarchy just for irony purposes.
or Alliance and Horde.
Millennium Falcon and Enterprise?
._.
Bevis and Butthead?
Mario and Luigi?
The Michaels?

 

[Devil's Due]

I wonder how many people are going to say Normandy and Enterprise

There's already a space shuttle, space-probe, and an Aircraft Carrier named the Enterprise, have been for a while now actually...

As for the thread: Issac and Clarke. For two science and one game references in a single attempt. Bazinga!

 

[itsausernamewhatofit]

Ship I and Ship II
Not to be confused with Ship 1 and Ship 2

 

[Nieroshai]

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

I like this one best personally.

 

[SilverHammerMan]

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

One of the humorously tiny ones that you sometimes see in the funny pages?

 

[Chrono212]

Redshift and Blueshift in honour of the way that light is effected as distant stars move away or towards the Earth, respectively.

 

[theheroofaction]

Economy and trade. the two words that distinguish civilization from barbarism.

 

[DuctTapeJedi]

Normandy and Millennium Falcon
Picard and Kirk
Lenny and Carl
Thing One and Thing Two

 

[khoryos]

I'm a big Culture fan, so the more impressive ship would have to be named "So THAT'S where all the gravitas went!"
But more seriously, the Zarathustra and the Per Aspera.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

A Ark and B Ark.

But A Ark stays back and dies from a dirty telephone.

C Ark was only thought about, as all the builders were already on A.

 

[Cat of Doom]

Named after Earths two greatist heros
Ship 1: The Curchill
Shup 2: The Fabregas

 

[Obsideo]

Ship 1 and Ship 3.

That way they'll be constantly in fear of an ambush from Ship 2.

 

[thunderbug]

im the kind of guy who rooted for the Empire in star wars and on that note my ship name choices are :-

"Obliterator"
"Massacre"

 

[RatRace123]

The Titanic 2 & Hindenburg: The Revenge

Yeah, that probably wouldn't fly, and I'm sure someone would think giving spaceships those names would be a bad idea, but that's why I'm not in charge of this kinda thing.

 

[sagacious]

Hmm,

Ship 1: Enterprise, for the cultural impact of Star Trek

Ship 2: Gagarin ( Гага́рин ) cause he was the first human in space

 

[Caligulove]

"Enterprise" & "Odyssey"

There's been an Enterprise in several naval fleets for centuries- plus both remind us of where we're going but also remind us of what's behind us and where we come from. That there's always a home when we look back from all our accomplishments, while simultaneously looking forward. That and they both just seem appropriate for ship's names (the first one being obvious- also how fucking cool would that be??)

 

[Rhymer]

Ship 1 and Ship 3.

That way they'll be constantly in fear of an ambush from Ship 2.

Genius!
