Enhanced Volume Inline Launcher?
Quote from: Darkseraph on 01/27/2016 03:36 amEnhanced Volume Inline Launcher? C'mon man. Even if you believe SLS isn't the right path to follow there is no reason to call it "evil." The rocket never did anything to you.
I'd say Jupiter IV, or Saturn IV, 4 engines ya know, or just Jupiter or Saturn
How 'bout calling it the "Big Johnson", in honor of LBJ !
Well, its giant, phallic, associated with enormous amounts of money, and, of course, also mostly orange. Obviously, it has to be named, ... err, after the yuuugest of the planets, Jupiter.
How about Pluto. Seeing as Pluto got reclassified as a dwarf planet and this will be reclassified as a dwarf launcher when BFR flies before it.

Their shuttle-derived launcher was named Jupiter.
But limiting everything to Greek and Roman mythology gets old after a while. Literally. There are plenty of other great mythologies with heroes and heroines to choose from.
