    Hey now! Day’s still young and I’m just getting started.

    You don’t think that European rocketry’s Aryan history has anything to do with their current rockets being named “after the Greek myth of Ariadne but we conveniently left off the d”?

    It’s been a bad name forever. It’s always made me a bit wary. As nazi imagery resurfaces, it’s time to move on from this name which is a relic of past nazism.

      Those damn Ancient Greeks and their fascist rockets. /shakes fist

      If your day is just starting, maybe you need a coffee. There’s a distinct difference between Aryan (or Aryen in French) and Ariane (or Ariane in French).

      Different words in different languages sounding the same is a wild launch to a crusade in 2025. Wait until you hear about Ariana Grande… the most Grand of all the Aryans. I know the additional letters won’t fool you.
