What did you name your first rocket?

[Mystic]

I named my first rocket the same way I name every first try I make at almost any computer-related task: Exper 1 (short for Experimental). My hard drives are full of Exper this and Exper that, and many of them were far more disastrous than my first KSP flight.

[Tommygun]

My first ship: "Pipe Bomb" followed by "Fuel Filled Aluminum Lightening Rod Mark 7".

"Von Braun Lawn Dart" was not my first, but still a favorite.

So far mine have gone

First

Atlas I

Atlas II

Atlas III

Explorer I

Explorer II

Kerbin SAT I

Mun SAT I

Mun PROBE I

[Behumat]

My first rocket was the "Never Gonna Make It", followed by the "Flying Bomb"

[Darcion]

Untitled Space Craft

hehe, me too and i did not save it

after some science my rockets got numbers

[Kialar]

In 0.13, the Angel Mk. 1. I still have the Angel Mk. VII somewhere.

Oh, holy creator. I read "Angela Merkel". I need holidays. Definitely.

[andysim212]

First rocket in career was Helios 1 and was to go passed the sun. However I did not realise how much DV I would need so now my sole kerbal commander is slowly cooking as he orbits close to sun with no fuel to get home =(

[madbadger2742]

In .22, none of my first half dozen or so ships were worth saving, so "Untitled Space Craft."

First ever, however, was named "Hope I(t flies.)"

[MOhon]

Basic I (To walk around KSC)

Basic II (To fly around KSC and the KSC's continent, taking samples of every terrains and biomes)

Mun Raker I (To Mun, 3 flights)

Mun Raker II (To Mun and Minmus, 2 flights)

Climber 001 (To push any ship out of Kerbin's SOI, go to nearest planets and return)

Planet Reacher I (To reach Duna, fly over and return)

Planet Lander I (only designed, never flew). After this mission that flew once, I decided to put the TAC Balancer plugin to manage to manage fuel easyly.

Planet Lander II To reach and land in planets and moons with low G. Is coupled to Minilander I (based in Planet Lander I design) and Returner A (only a mediun fuel tank with one nuclear motor). With that design I flew to Duna, fly over, Minilander undocked and land. After launch, approach and docking to Climber 001 and Returner A. Then went to Ike, orbiting at around, Minilander undocked and land again, and finally I returned and docking another time but to get back to Kerbin had to empty the Returner A and discard. Also with that design I flew to Eve, fly over and orbiting at around so closed. Then went to Gilly, the moon potato, orbiting at around, Minilander undocked and land. I returned and docking, and get back to Kerbin all right.

Station Alpha (To recharge the ships Planet Lander... in space without landing in Kerbin) IN CONSTRUCTION.

[Commander Zoom]

Orbiter. Exciting, I know.

[McFarnsworth]

Moonshine I

The distillery process for rocket fuel has since been refined and I'm currently using the Vodka III series.

[Starwhip]

I believe the first rocket I ever designed was "X-Delta 10"

In career mode, it was "Test 1"

[trvtannenberg]

Auto-saved ship.

[Felsmak]

The oldest name I remember is Armstrong's Choice.

[Hunter X]

First ship on my .21 sandbox save was the Ascendant I. This was soon replaced by a variety of constellation/mythical names, with the Orion series (14 models aimed at reaching orbit around Kerbin) and the Artemis series (6 models designed for Munar orbit and/or landing) being the most prominent.

First ship on my new .22 career mode save was the Flying Brick series, which somehow managed to accumulate three different iterations before getting enough tech upgrades to reach orbit and being replaced by the Orbiter series (although my latest Orbiter model managed to leave Jeb stuck in orbit around Kerbin before a daring EVA attempt managed to decelerate the craft just enough to bring it into the atmosphere and eventually land after several days of aerobraking). Odds are future ships will follow a similar naming convention to my .21 save.

[SuperWeegee4000]

Moho I

Mercury, Moho, Mercury, Moho, Mercury Moho...

You get it by now.

Again, don't "sign" your post within the post.

[MalfunctionM1Ke]

Untitled Space Craft

Mine too. But it was probably more like a Rocket powered Dive Bomber than a Spacecraft

[SpaceSphereOfDeath]

The chicken rocket 9001 mkI

[Wallace]

My first ever one was called UPer 1.

I didn't save my first 2 career mode rockets, but my third was called Mun Disaster.

[Bandock]

First one I built for 0.22's Career Mode was the Falisha-I. Didn't make orbit, but did have a successful return to the water. That particular model did not require any subassemblies whatsoever. In fact, didn't start building subassemblies (which consist of lifters right now) till I acquired the proper technology to do (though I could've done it before then).

[Tassyr]

For 0.22 the first name I used was "Icarus 1 Launch Craft." Like it's namesake, the sucker made a crater instead of a soft landing. Such is life...

[PlasmaticInc]

first succesgul one way back in .13 was the Athena. It's first 2 stages were massive SRB clusters. Needless to say, it exploded alot.

[42undead2]

Wolfie 1.0 because I was watching Kurt and was too un-creative to come up with a name myself.

[Johnnyfive]

My first rocket was called Return to Sender. It delivered .

[Abexuro]

The very first rocket I every build was called the Munplorer. As you would expect, it never reached the Mun... (in one piece)
