I have finally built a ship capable of a grand tour mission, I just don't know what to name the ship

[JacobJHC]

So I've built this ship

Album will appear when post is submitted

And I finally got it to work. It has over 1700+ parts and is the largest thing I have ever launched. I was sitting around thinking of names that would go along with such an ambitious mission, but I can't come up with any names I feel are good. That's when I remembered the community on the forum has helped be in the past and might have some suggestions for what I might name it.

TLDR: Help me name this grand tour mission^

I've got some ideas:

Voyager

Odyssey

Heart of Gold

Beagle

Enterprise

Argo

Daedalus

Apollo

Sun Tzu (why not?)

Korolev

Wernher von Braun

Hermann Oberth

Robert Goddard

 

Take your pick.

Imagination.

Put that name to good use. I built my own "Imagination" today (gigantic water rocket) only to have it fail in a non-spectacular way. Avenge the name!

You also build water rockets? I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!

Polaris, Callisto, or Patience?

Considering the amount of Ion engines this name would fit nicely. The ship has several smaller reusable landers. I think I'll name the largest of the 4 planes I brought Patience.

Ion engines? That's nothing. One  mod I installed had an EM drive With 0 ISP (infinite)... And 0.00001 kN of thrust. Nothing Tweakscale couldn't do though.

Heart of Gold

I see some ones seen/read Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy.

 

As for names

 - Sojourner

 - Walkabout (I named an ion based long distance lander thing for a reddit challenge that)

 - Parnell (started the pitch drop experiment, an extremely long ongoing science experiment of pitch just dripping)

 - System-Buster 1

 - Big Ship

 

Or, if you really want, RBiSToGEWIOGo (Really Big Ship To Go Everywhere In One Go)

"So Much for Subtlety"?

"Just Read the Instructions"

[netbumbler]

"The Frame Rate Thief." 

 

Nice ship, though.... 

[RoadRunnerAerospace]

The persistence?

[purpleivan]

Depends one the outcome I guess, the "One Shot" might be good for a successful mission, the "50m/s Short" or the "Get Out and Push" for a rage inducing, didn't quite make it one.

It will be a video eventually, although I have no idea when I'll be done. The launch itself will take about an hour due to lag.

In way to wish the best for the Voyage:

KRAKENPROOF

That is the SUREST way to summons a Kraken.

What about the Irregular Self-destruction. With that large of a part count there must be a kraken attack at some point.

Nameless?

[Laie]

Mine was/were named Gran Tourismo. Now I notice that I've been spelling it wrong.
