So today they released the trailer for Prometheus, the Alien prequel, so
cleolinda posted it because that's what she does, and there followed this Twitter conversation of win:
If Hardi and I ever get spaceships of our very own, we are totally using those last two.

@Annaleen: Prometheus trailer has me filled with awe and glee. Reminds me of Russian SF movie Solaris for some reason.
@cleolinda: Mine's the USS Everyone Gets Home Safe. RT @scottEweinberg: Prometheus. Icarus. Daedalus. Parsimonious. #badnamesforspaceships
@cleolinda: The No Aliens Allowed. The Nobody Dies. The Sunshine Unicorn. The Punch and Pie. #myscifispaceship
@AnnLarimer: The Cantexplode #myscifispaceship
@millibeau: The Huge Shiny Not Compensating For Anything. #myscifispaceship
@annejumps: The She's Fast Enough For You Old Man #myscifispaceship
@Salome: The "SHE'S A Rebel," AKA The Hated By Fangirls And Fanboys AKA the USS Misogyny Bait #myscifispaceship
@Eviey: The I Swear To Whatever Omnipotent Deity You Believe In If You Give Me Any Lip I Will Turn This Ship Around #myscifispaceship
@cleolinda: The Nobody Goes Outside. The No You Can't Come Back In With Alien On Your Face. The Going Home Right Now. #myscifispaceship
@alliancesjr: The USS Keep It On Lockdown And Tow It Into The Authorities Like We Planned
@alliancesjr: Although on a serious note, I do like how HALO's ship names are poetic. "In Amber Clad" "Pillar of Autumn" "Forward Unto Dawn"
@alliancesjr: Nobody really knows what a pillar of autumn IS, but it's damned poetic nonetheless.
@cleolinda: At least none of them are deeply foreshadowed mythological figures, you know?
@alliancesjr: Agreed. I prefer naming them after prominent historical figures. Like the USS Patrick Henry. #amidoingthisright
@cleolinda: The USS Benedict Arnold. The USS Richard Nixon. The USS Evel Knievel. #amidoingthisright
@alliancesjr: If I get a ship, I'm naming it the "Second Star To The Right."
@alliancesjr: And the next ship in my fleet will be the "No Your Other Right"
If Hardi and I ever get spaceships of our very own, we are totally using those last two.
