Kerbal Astronomic Naming Society

[inigma]

In my Campaigns page on the wiki, I mention that Jeb is a skiier and daredevil from Kornicopia.

[Keenan Smith]

i'm in.............

[hugix]

I am interested in discovering and naming the various landscapes on Minmus!

[Daze]

Here i am!

[Moach]

This is interesting!

I propose that entries be considered only when accompanied by a picture documenting the placement of a flag and a plaque at a location as planted by the claimant (or a Kerbal at of his/her own committing); Aye or Nay?

A name may be further contested by another conqueror, say if he would extend the achievements by e.g. building a base where only a flag has stood

Nevertheless, history must preserve the previous name in high regard, and this society would then vow to uphold this notion

A map ought to be produced as well...

This is interesting!

Nay, but I agree on having to atleast flown closely over the area to bee considered.

Not necessarily, this should be sort of like the IAU in naming sorts.

Nevertheless, history must preserve the previous name in high regard, and this society would then vow to uphold this notion

A map ought to be produced as well... Most definitely!

I have added a lot of people to the list of interested! Keep this going! I might start early if we get enough people!

[Sapphire]

I'd love to pop some ideas for some names for different islands on Laythe! Count me in!

[Forgettable]

I like this idea! I have suffered from no small amount of grief trying to come up with craft names without any in-universe background information for inspiration. Names for geographical locations is a great first step toward a wider backstory for the Kerbal universe.

If this project works well, I think it would be a great idea to try something similar with Kerbal history, ancient lore, religions, etc. Of course, that would be a much more difficult and in depth project than mixing syllables in interesting ways, but still... Food for thought.

[Tom K.]

I am very interessted and would love to join the KANS.

[KD3]

I would like to join. Sounds like fun

[Malum]

Sounds interesting. It's always helpful to have a better method of communication with other members. I would love to join.

[whiterafter]

We're almost ready!

[Procyon]

This would be great if a map could be produced, Be nice if you could say something like " landed at fuleriene canyon on duna and lost two landing legs and a somewhat disturbed potted plat today" and ppl could look it up on a map and know where you had your misadventure.

[Kialar]

I am interested, too.

[astropapi1]

Did you get to the 25 members limit? I want to be part of this!

[Tom K.]

Oh god we're going to need ALOT of names for Eve!

[Mercy]

I'm in, I guess.

[Schweehog]

If you are still looking for members, I'm up to join.

[superecnate]

I'd love to participate.

[Silicon014]

I already have my first feature picked out and filled out on a form!

[rexrex600]

Count me in!

[whiterafter]

We are still active!

[Rocketscience101]

I am interested and say we name them instead of after current kerbal s name them after earth scientists. Just so it is easier to remember. Like the area with the Armstrong memorial can be the Armstrong crater.

[AustralianFries]

I'm totally in, if it's not too late.
