What did you name your first rocket?

[Supernovy]

Well I just checked my persistence file and it tells me:

ReachedSpace
			{
				completed = 994.199999999387
				vessel
				{
					name = Suborbital Rocket
					flag = Squad/Flags/rings
				}
				crew
				{
					crews = 0
				}
			}

So, it must have been called Suborbital Rocket. If I recall correctly, it actually got into orbit.

My very very first rocket was called : Kaboom!

Well that explains.. pretty much everything *_*

BUT in career, the first rocket is called KerminA1

[John FX]

Untitled Space Craft

Most of my ships are called `Auto-saved ship` until they fly right for a few times...

[Tw1]

Most Of them were called "untitled space craft"

In fact, many of my creations with a single, one of purpose have been called that...

In seriousness, the first one I named was QAWS or something like that. I don't know what it stands for, you'll have to ask my Kerbals. (I button mashed.)

[Epthelyn]

My first rocket was Sci-I in career mode. I got to Sci-VI before I continued naming my rockets after their locations (e.g. Duna I, Eve IV, Jool XII ([body] [# of craft already for this +1])) as I do in Sandbox.

[Demon_82]

My first 0.22 ship was the NX-01. The next ones got up to NX-10 (followed by B or C when I use the same design many times) before I thought of a real name xD

[rholtsla98]

I named mine "The First Crater"

[SRV Ron]

The first career rocket was a sub orbital of four fuel cans, capsule, antenna, parachute, LV-30 called Little Kerbal One

(No screenshot)

Little Kerbal Two

Little Kerbal Three had a cluster of three SRBs that blew up shortly after launch from overheating.

Orbiter Jeb which did the Mun mission

[Xetalim]

Errrrr

First rocket:

Untitled space craft

First rocket that got into orbit

Untitled space craft

First rocket to land on mun

Munar flyby(Lol)

First rocket to reach an other planet

Yet to come.

[Yilmas]

Rocket Mk. I

But today, I use the normalization: ({Planet} - (Purpose) - [Number++])

[ElJugador]

Spacer-I (10chars)

[HeadHunter67]

My first rocket was called Trailblazer. It was of the same design that Scott Manley used for his Minmus tutorial.

[LameLefty]

Science 1 was the name of my first mission, using the aptly-named Rocket Mk. 1.

[CosmicX1]

The Bullet!

[Herbert McCheese-Wang]

KSA Attempt

Yeah, it crashed...

[M5000]

Embarker I in the demo version, which was an upper-atmosphere rocket, which then had a spinoff once I bought the full thing that turned into a Mun mission with rovers.

[Cydonian Monk]

Aleph 0.

(Unless we're talking about the Demo. That one was apparently named Hawk 1.)

[rhoark]

First rocket when I started KSP was Prometheus. First of career mode was Greenstone.

[Kromey]

Untitled Space Craft

This was mine, as well.

I was shocked and surprised -- even surprised and shocked -- to launch career mode for the first time and discover, much to my chagrin, that I didn't have stage separators at all. I was so off-balance -- I don't think I've ever built a rocket without at least one stage separation before!! -- that after cobbling something together I didn't think to name or save it before hitting the launch button.

I was doubly shocked and surprised -- but not surprised and shocked -- that that thing actually managed to not only reach space, but to hit over 120 Km apo! Of course I was only shooting straight up, just to see how high I could get (and hoping to do some outer space SCIENCE!), and didn't even try to get an orbit, but it was still a rather impressive showing for the historic Untitled Space Craft.

Whose design has now been lost to time, sadly. Oh well, I have stack separators now, and a new line of LKO launch vehicles dubbed Prometheus, for no reason other than that's the first cool name that came to mind. Will have to come up with something else for my first Munar fly-by, but first the Prometheus line is due for the addition of a more robust lifter that can better achieve stable -- and higher -- orbits.

[Vespasianus]

My first successfull rocket was named Orbiter 1. Very original, right?

Anyway, the series of Orbiter rockets were highly successfull, and the first moonrocket to land on the mun was built on the same principle, though it was called Sunrise V (5).

Heh, I've used that principle from 0.17. I haven't changed it one bit.

Wrong timeform-english is not my strong side :)

"Here Goes Nothing", which pretty much described its first flight in 0.18.

[alacrity]

Lost in space

[ls612]

Moho I (which actually went to orbit, unlike Mercury I).

[Moon Goddess]

My very first? I'm not sure at all but probably something like Test 1

my first in each new save now?

Apple 1

Then

Apple 2,3...

Next Itertive design gets

Banana 1

and so on.
