    Even worse - he named his space vessels ‘Starship’ - implying that they have the ability to travel between stars.

    They will study this man’s narcissism in future history classes alongside Trump. The era of the ego.

      Even worse worse, he named prior projects after Culture ship names. Whose author despised him.

      I mean by that definition, Voyager is a starship, eventually.

        Voyager I and II are probes, not ships.

          A ship can transport people or goods, and I argue that data is a type of good.

            There’s that golden record, so there are physical goods as well.

            I would argue that its purpose as a probe outweighs its purpose as a ship, as such the specification of probe would still outweigh it being a starship by technicality.

            Yeah but we already have a less ambiguous name which is “probe” haha.

      People going to space are called astronauts - in this context I see no problem with Starship.

        I’m not sure how the context of the word “astronaut” justifies implying interstellar travel that you aren’t capable of.

          It justifies it by precedens. Aster means star - astronauts have been called people travelling to stars for a long time, even though interstellar travel is not possible for us yet, so naming their means of transport Starship is not out of line. It just follows a kind of funny naming tradition.

          Depends on interpretation. Cosmos is Greek for the universe

            Tbf, they are travelling through the Universe. But so are all of us, so we’re all equally cosmonauts.

            You’re right. I think it could be interpreted as space as well, a kind of universe sensu stricto, excluding our little round home.

      I can’t find the article now, but there was a news article that talked about “interstellar missions to mars”, and it drove me nuts

      technically, travelling on earth (or anywhere else in the universe), is travelling between stars, because we’re likely to be between 2.
