Why NASA Names Missions the Way They Do?

NASA chose a Monday (moon-day) to launch their first moon mission in half a century, but technical issues pushed the mission back to Friday (frigga's day). Named Artemis, sister of Apollo and goddess of the hunt and moon, the launch will carry experiments and an unmanned capsule called Orion (god of hunting). NASA has a long history of choosing powerful names for their missions, rockets, shuttles, and programs, from Apollo and Mercury to Saturn. Artemis is no different, being schedule for the end of the month of August which has been saturated in goddess imagery from sports and Hollywood to the music industry, and culminating in the death anniversary of Princess Diana. Of course, Diana is the Roman version of the Greek Artemis. In fact the entire process of planning, engineering, and launching Artemis is ritualistic. Everything must be perfect as the phallic rocket leaves GEB, the Earth, and penetrates the sky goddess NUT, on its way to the Moon. Divine favor is requested on this ritual of seeking divine influence.
