 | View Full Version : What should I do with my Columbia package? jw 02-02-2003, 05:41 PM All my packages are named after the space shuttles. Unfortunately due to the events yesterday, I am contemplating what to do with that particular package. Should I delete it and shift the others down? Should I rename it to the Memorial package or something? Anyone have any other suggestions? filburt1 02-02-2003, 05:45 PM You could move the others down and make the highest Space Station Alpha.

Benjamin 02-02-2003, 07:10 PM Just keep it the same, unless you can think of another name for a space shuttle that has been used and replace it with that. jayjay 02-02-2003, 07:20 PM Just keep it the same, unless you can think of another name for a space shuttle that has been used and replace it with that. Agreed. Tropical Tundra 02-02-2003, 07:20 PM I would remove it. Same reason you don't have a challenger package. The Challenger is no more and now unfortunately neither is Columbia. People will always have a bad connotation to that now it just doesn't seem like good marketing to have a plan named after something that ended in a tragedy. Maybe you can use one of the old spacecrafts like Gemini or Apollo. jw 02-02-2003, 07:26 PM Originally posted by Benjamin Just keep it the same, unless you can think of another name for a space shuttle that has been used and replace it with that. The only problem with that is that there are just 3 shuttles being used right now: Atlantis, Discovery, and Endeavour...Enterprise also still exists, but it is just used for testing and training. The only others that have existed are Challenger and Columbia. So I can't exactly think of a name for a space shuttle that has been used since there are only 6 that have ever been used. flitcher 02-02-2003, 07:36 PM What about using the old names - Apollo? Mizu 02-02-2003, 07:39 PM I would name the lowest package "Enterprise", and then bump all the others up one. IMHO, leaving the original name up just opens the door to too much negative feelings/assumptions. imitech 02-02-2003, 07:41 PM You could keep it in memory of the Space Shuttle Columbia Tropical Tundra 02-02-2003, 07:49 PM You could change the name of your smallest package to Apollo then replace Columbia with Enterprise and bump the others up. Instead of Enterprise Columbia Discovery Atlantis Endeavour you would have: Apollo Enterprise Discovery Atlantis Endeavour Just a suggestion. WPT Kyle 02-02-2003, 09:10 PM I'd change it but tell people why you did to show respect:) Jeffreyw 02-02-2003, 09:51 PM Originally posted by flitcher What about using the old names - Apollo?
