Andy Youniss, Rocket's CEO, was asked the question of the origination of "Rocket" last night at dinner, and the short answer was that at the time 20 years ago, he liked it. Although it may feel retro to some, I disagree that it carries a negative connotation. One of the leading companies in the commercialization of space today, Space Exploration Technologies, uses the term in its material on http://www.spacex.com. In addition, NASA is a Rocket customer. The reason that "rocketship" has not been used in science fiction in decades is for decades it has been fact, not fiction. Henry Henry P.
