SpaceWordGame

A fun way to get up to speed on space jargon, by proposing better meanings for exciting-sounding words from way way up beyond the atmosphere. There are many fabulous words used in the space business every day -- bring them into your workplace with you, fresh with new meanings, and impress your co-workers. With a nod to Douglas Adams and John Lloyd who did something much more powerful for placenames, this was inspired by The Snowball Herminator, who takes all credit and no responsibility.
