Expand Korolyov, Korolov, Korolev..? I've seen it spelt a few different ways, all of them ripe for Kerbal-ification. There's also Tsiolkovsky, of rocket equation fame, whose name is easily butchered altered to Tsiolkerbsky. If there's a Woomerang (referring to Woomera, site of a grand total of two orbital launches, one successful) then surely a Kerou (referring to Kourou) would be feasible; couldn't be worse than the alphabet soup that is Baikerbanur, though why that wasn't called Baikernur is beyond me. Perhaps a Naro-related launchsite on that conspicuously Korea-looking peninsula east of the KSC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it spelt a few different ways, all of them ripe for Kerbal-ification. Expand The ambiguity is always in the part between the L and the V. The Russian letter is ё, which ALWAYS says "yo". As far as I know, the only reason why anyone writes it as "Korolev" is because the letter looks like an e. Korolov is okay, but it omits the y sound. Devs: If you use something like this, please spell it with a yo! As you may have gathered, this is something of a pet peeve of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maria Sirona Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Cyrillic letter to be accurate, @Ember12. In fact there is nothing inherently russian about the cyrillic alphabet, which is also used in Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Montenegro. Bulgaria is the place where cyrillic was invented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ember12 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the clarification. To be absolutely clear about what I meant: In many languages, if a syllable does not have emphasis, it is pronounced differently. For instance, "instance" is pronounced "IN-stuhns" not "IN-stans". If Russian, if the letter ё (yo) is in a word, it is always stressed. Just how the language works. In other Cyrillic-using languages, this may not be the case. So, while ё is pronounced fully in Russian, it may be pronounced differently in other languages where it is not necessarily stressed. So I thought that the clarification as Russian might be helpful.

Maybe not as the core team, but always available. Like Samantha Kerboferetti, Chris Kerfield, Alex Kerst.. And of course we need Scott Kerley.
