I've built a recreational space craft: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3434 I envision it sort of as a sailplane for outer space...powered by solar wind or solar power. Does anyone have a good idea for a name for the model? For all you artists out there, I'd also like a critique on the composition. Any suggestions? --Bram

(...) Well I personally like the idea of the model being part of a racing league. If it was then you could maybe name it on these grounds. You could take in to consideration the manufacturer of the ship, the racing team name, and even the pilot. (...)
