Hmm... I usually either base mine off of the bodies they're visiting with an acronym (Like PDuna-FB-1 was my first probe to Duna, and it was a fly-by) or I just ask Discord to come up with something cool (Refuge 4, Haven 5)

#TRIOPINTOMOARSTAIRS

This is ridiculous, but I ask the guys on my Discord. More specifically, @KnightofKessler.

Chapter 5 - For Science! - 1 Eve 15, 330 - Launchpad 1B - T-5 Minutes to Refuge 4 Well… it’s been just over a day since Proximae 3 launched, and Scott is sitting on the pad in his Refuge 4… pretty sure they named it because he wanted refuge from the media. The media has been pestering him for the last 3 hours… I’ve also become engrossed in Wernher’s Emiko Station books, they’re really good! Wernher has a great taste in books. Jeb! Did you hear Gene actually let Linus do his tweaks on this one? Really? Yeah. Apparently it was harder to get the scheme past Gene, but Wernher let it go right ahead on the Refuge. Gene’s not letting it happen for tomorrow’s Haven 5, though. I figured as much. I’m surprised he let it go this far anyways, Val! I’m a little surprised, too. I thought that this, forgive the pun, would never fly! *groans* That was pretty bad, Val. Yeah… don’t blame me, though, blame Anakin. I heard him making the pun earlier. Oh, great… of course the intern’s making rocket puns… is it really true that he came up with both Refuge and Haven? Yeah. Kerballing’s First Note: Yes, the same person (not me or Salmon) came up with both names, and as such earned himself the very first permanent reference, KnightofKessler, who I have the honor of being in the same Discord server with. He has (at least for now) agreed to become the third member of the team, and will come up with at least all the craft names, if not Kerbal names. Apparently he’s pretty skilled in the naming department… I heard that the PR department’s taking him on full-time. Wow. Good for him! *T-30 seconds until the launch of Refuge 4* Oh man… this is it! *The Final Countdown begins playing* *T-15 seconds… T-10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4…* *FOR SCIENCE is suddenly yelled over the intercom* *camera drops abruptly ending the log* 1 Eve 15, 500 Well… we got the camera back! I can’t believe it still works! It withstood a heck of a drop from where we were sitting. Yeah… I know. That probably wasn’t the smartest idea I’ve ever had. No kidding… you wanna recap the flight? Sure. The flight went without a problem, and Scott took the H.Q.’s first flight west. We got even more science, and Scott got a selfie in the capsule, somehow. Not sure how he pulled that off, but he has more experience in smuggling things onboard than I do (sandwiches are one example). It’s impressive enough he got the picture in the first place under the g-forces. The research team also announced some huge findings today: they discovered two new planets, one a gas giant with four moons, and the other a large rocky blob with an atmosphere out in deep space with at least two moons. The naming of these bodies is being opened to the public, It’s exciting… for the first time since the dawn of the telescope, there are new bodies being discovered! Umm… doesn’t that moon around Eve count? Gilly or something? No, it’s too tiny to really count. Anyways … I think the names should be something really cool… like Olau’em for the distant planet. *snickers* It sounds like you just coughed up a bird! Oh come on! It’s Ancient Kær’sin for far! I know… I took it as an elective in kollege, too! Oh… that’s right. Did you have Professor Alain, too? Oh yeah, he was great! He was such a fun professor, too! Oh man… It’s hard to believe that was five years ago… five years before the start of the space program was foretold to begin... *bum bum bummmm!* Kerballing’s Second Note: This is where you guys come in! You can send the ideas to the Discord (the second link in the signature) or just post them here. @KnightofKessler, @Salmon, and myself will choose the best of these (a set of all eight is requested) and you will be given a special rank in the Discord and a possible one-time mention here. @Salmon’s Note: Henlo frens. I invite you all to the Discord server. @KnightofKessler’s Note: Hi! I’m Knight of Kessler… you may remember me from Occupy Duna. I’ll be joining the Jeb’s Journals team as the Vokabulator (that is, I’ll be naming things in the universe when needed). Hope you enjoy the occasionally strange names I give things!

It was a land boat! Until the water and the explosions...

15/15 I BELIEVE THIS There is some image out there for every single prime.

5131... CUBICLES *gasp* you quickly hurry up the stairs, trying to remember why they didn't install an elevator... and what floor your interview's on.

Banned because rep farming is good.

X/10 because idk about the KSC...

wait... do I see infinite fuel cheats???

nope. TUBM has a planet in their profile pic or location.

5/10 for insulting my meme, but having the cool spacesuit...

YEAH STAIRS!

Hey Everyone! This series now has a Discord, and soon I will be creating the first of several polls about some major twists... or maybe just names! You can join the Discord here. All of you who join will be appreciated immensely!

OH YEAH!

#TRIOPTOSTAIRS yes.

Yep. I just love Mission Reports... Some more than others of course but I make it my duty to try and remain on top of the entire mission reports thread/forum.

Hey guys! On the off chance a few of y'all like to read my very first true novel, the link to it is in my signature. Any and all feedback will be appreciated.

Hey, we completely understand that mental health is important. Take all the time you need.

YESYESYES! GIVE THIS MINION A BANANA! I was starting too worry that no one would figure it out! Honestly though, I complain a lot so Jeb is kinda based off of myself but a more BAD$ version of me.

Chapter 4 - Liftoff - 1 Eve 14 - Proximae 3 Capsule - Hammer Hop 1/Proximae 3 T-5 Minutes Well… I’m in the capsule. It’s quite cramped, if I’m going to be honest. They did let me name the capsule, however. I’ve named it the Proximae 3, in honor of it being the third flight and the closest yet to space. Jeb? Can you hear me? Hmm? Yeah, I can hear you, Val! Loud and clear! Well, I’m glad it’s you in the CAPCOM seat. I’m just gonna chat with you… Wernher and Linus are having some heck of an argument… not even sure what language they’re speaking in. German, maybe? Makes sense… listen in... Wherner: Linus, du Dummkopf! Dies wird nicht fünfundzwanzig Sekunden lang fliegen, nur zweiundzwanzig! Linus: Nein, Wernher! Wenn wir gerade genug Zeit haben, um dies zu ändern, dann-- NEIN! Sie können diesen Start nicht verzögern! Die Medien sind bereits da, und wenn Sie den Start verzögern möchten, werden Sie nicht nur enttäuschte und wütende Medien haben, Jeb wird nicht glücklich sein! Sehr gut ... Ich werde Gene sagen, dass Sie nicht mehr Wissenschaft sammeln, als wir hätten erreichen können. Fein! Tun Sie das, Sie werden der Ärger sein! Well… that was something… Linus just stormed off and Wernher just returned to drinking his koffee and reading his book… wow. (Kerballing’s First Note: If you wanna find out what was just said, just copy all that into Google Translate… that’s what I did!) What book is he reading? Looks like the first issue of… haven’t heard of that one before. Emiko Station? Huh… I’ll have to look that up when I land. How long do we have until launch? Umm… 30 seconds. Alright… wish me luck. I don’t need to. You’ll be fine! Well, you’ll be better than you were after eating your helmet… Don’t mention that. Please. Alright… you got ten seconds… five… four… three… two… one… *camera gets flung into back of capsule* WHOO-HOOOO-HOOOOOO THE GEES ARE REAL!!! *engine cuts off* hahaha… that was amazing! *decoupler clunks* ahh… *flicks switches to do science things…* okay… data collected… Did you have fun, Jeb? Yeah. I also remembered to science, as well! Good. *parachute deploys with a loud FWUMP* oof… forgot about the chute… now where’s my camera? *looks around before finding it in the back* ah *parachute deploys fully with an even lounder FWUMP* OOF. You forgot about the parachute again? You know me too well… ow… *gloved hand closes over camera lens and cinces it back to suit* splashdown in 3… 2… 1… *sploosh* ah… Kerbin once again… and now the waiting for the helicopter begins… *sigh* *end Entry J10-Beta-1* Kerballing’s Second Note: As always, this is such great fun to write for the wonderful community surrounding this heck of a game. If anyone wants me to throw in either a reference to them or a reference to their thread/series, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. I have a couple more ideas for references, but I’m starting to run dry. KERBALLING, OUT! @Salmon’s Note: If anyone knows much about the UR-900 then please tell me. Chapter Five is also underway...
