What's next? Rename the Artemis program because we can't be flying to the moon under some lady name? Probably change it to Ares, god of war and courage. That's a very manly man name, just as the good lords Jesus and Trump intended.

Change it to Donald, god of bone spurs and bigotry.

I'm imagining those early rocket failures where they just fall over and burst into flames.

The moon program in the 1960s was originally called Artemis and got renamed to Apollo for the same reasoning.

So it'll probably get renamed to Apollo 2.

The Russians have simply continued the count of the Soviet Luna missions.

Wasn't Ares actually the name for a previous attempt at return to the moon?
