Day 28 - Name Your Own Starship

[lizbee]

When I started writing Trek fic again in 2017, I made a conscious decision to name starships after women of STEM, space exploration and science fiction. And while I'm on hiatus from fic writing on account of trying really, really hard to get my novel drafted, I still haven't gotten around to creating a USS Northcutt -- named for Poppy Northcutt, the only woman in mission control for many of the Apollo missions.

(She is still alive, now working as a feminist advocate, and she's still pretty salty about being left out of Apollo 13, if you were wondering.)

Two days left!

I enjoyed that that Cochran book that Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens usually named all the ships after Canadian Astronauts.

Nice I do that too in fic and other things create name cities, towns and villages, streets, ships, etc...After important women or African-Americans.
