Why do they name their space missions with greek and roman gods names like apolo, artemis, mercury, etc?
cause it's cool
>>16944481I named my GPU farm Ranjesh. Does that mean I think it’s human?
>>16944481It's tradition.
>>16944495>>16944509Faggots
>>16944498It means you shit in the street.
>>16944481Atheism is cringe and uncool, 14 yo neck beard fedora shitI am not a "scientist" but I did study math, physics and computer science, I have a masters degree, I am not an athiest.
They are unironically trying to become God. See this rage comic.
>>16944481Because they’re also huge fucking dorks. Who come up with goofy acronyms for projects or name their kids after their favorite Star Trek characters.
>>16944481It's cool and basedIf someone named their space mission Yahweh I would assume they are creepy vindictive moralists
>>16944550>I am le ebbic agnosticist larping as internet tradcath or some shit
>>16944564they who?>>16944655why do they think it's cool to have greek roman pagan gods names instead of something American like Columbia or Yorker?
>>16944669>pagin bad>>>/pol/
>>16944481scientists arent atheists
>>16944683best ones are
>>16944669>something American like Columbia>Libertas is the Roman goddess and personification of liberty, freedom, and personal rights. >the first picture that comes up is "Columbia" (which is Libertas with a "war bonet").Anon...>>16944670>pagin badMore like "Introductory Coarse/Political-ish Theology".
>>16944699Fuck off.
>>16944702Im just like you, I eat "people-food".See? Its really "sustinance fulfilling".
>>16944713>zyn>exotics dispensarykek>notorious schi/x/o is also a druggieWho woulda thunk it?
>>16944714>notoriousBased.Im in Thailand before China, maybe Russia if plans fall through. If I didnt have weed from time to time I would lose my shit, Ive spent 8+ years living overseas.
>>16944730>i need drugs to function broI am so sick of people like you.
>>16944714>a druggieOh, and I come from an era where that basically means hard drugs, so for you to think that way means youre a reflection of my world.Why is Gen Z not drinking?...same reason. Youre younger, so its all youve known.
>>16944744Don't bother talking to it. It's a bot.
>>16944744Yeah, well, I work 25 hours a day, 8 days a week, its a lot of work macro-managing the world and myself at the same time, as well as find answers to certain "unresolved phenomena". Hence why Ive traveled all over the world.Im tracking it hyper-spacially back in time on many different scales.
>>16944498>Ranjesh>human
>>16944748>Why do they name their space missions with greek and roman gods names like apolo, artemis, mercury, etc?Its one step down from "monotheism" in a wsy that isnt trying for, because when you do it invites challenge.Psychologically, Sociologically, its simple "little i" idolarty, viewing it's relation in some personality or temperment lens, which is real and true...just "bronze age Psycho-Analysis mixed with Genomics (with bloodlines). "The gods" are always real, but its Mono perspective'd.As for capital "I" Idolatry, maybe anothrr time, its far more insidious. It hides in everywhere, no amount of "idol destroying" gets rid of it, they just imediatelly latch onto something else.Social phenomena of keep evolutionary directions coherent over time across...well, the planet. Im in Bangkok and inside a lot of shops it feels super Westernized, and dey be why-peepol eeer'where. I had brunch in a cafe and it was full of 20-something Westerners. A bunch of NORMIES (most of (You)'s here).Im so out of touch with "normalcy" and live an austere and oppressive lifestyle. To "win" or something, I wouldnt remember if I was sober. Doesnt matter.
>>16944481>If scientists are atheists...*this* is a scientist.>greek and roman godsNope...>Protestant tradition, and has often discussed how his faith, science, and military background are deeply intertwined....its JESUS! We spece Jesus now yall.
>>16944661No I am just normal, neither some bitter plebbit fedora tipper nor some tradcath (I am not even christian kek), I do not subscribe to any of the toxic internet larps because I have a pretty much normal social life, I might be posting here but I am not a terminally online hikikomori.>>16944695Nah not true.
>>16944768damnit lol
“Scientists” aren’t atheists. They are a large and diverse group of people all with their individual beliefs. Some are some aren’t.
>>16944784how come the ones naming nasa missions all seem to be grecoroman worshippers then?
>>16944830the empire still lives in their hearts
>>16944830Because they sound nice and evoke feelings of cosmic grandeur.
>>16944850I swear the people who make these memes are fucking gay. Like actually homosexual gay. What the fuck is wrong with them?
Careful now. You don't want them to name it Floyd II, do you?
>>16944481are you legitimately retarded?What are the planets called? they are named after greek mythology. And a lot of stars too. Ergo, there is obviously a cultural theme going on, so space-related stuff tends to get named with stuff that fits. Obviously there are a lot of things in space, so stuff ends up getting called NGC xyz or whatever, but if you're gonna spend a whole bunch of money on a mission don't you want it to have a cool/inspiring/thematic name?
>>16944854only to a paganIsrael doesn't call its projects greek names
>>16944864I'd prefer that to artemisthe state is supposed to be secular
>>16944886>state is supposed to be secularThats why presidents put there hand on a Bible when being sworn in, or court.
>>16944983they shouldn't
>>16944987That was a normal sentiment...10 years ago. Where ya been?
I'm an atheist but I will not shy away from judeo-christian cultural achievements.
>>16944884Israel doesn’t go to extraterrestrial bodies with probes or manned flights so what they do is meaningless.
>>16945027Welcome aboa-...wait, is it AD or CE?
>>16945030the computer you're using right now is Israeli technology
>>16944481The Greco-Roman religion has been dead since the Reign of Justinian so there is no one to offend with this. Naming shit after Greco-Roman deities is a Western traditions that goes back many centuries.This goes beyond Western culture by the way. The Chinese do it as well and most of their space stuff is named after Chinese mythology
>>16945240>Naming shit after Greco-Roman deities is a Western traditions that goes back many centuries.i really doubt they did that in the Medieval period
>>16945240>outed yourself as a Christcuck by using 'dead'Oof. Tough break, little guy. Don't worry, we'll let you sit at the big kids' table as long as you don't be an asshole about your lack of intelligence and superiority complex.
>>16945276Roman LARPing has been a thing ever since the Western Roman Empire fell. That's why there was Charlemange, scholasticism, the concept of virtuous pagans. Even the Holy See views itself as Rome with the leader titled as Pontifex Maximus. It's why there is still January, February, March, April, etc. and not like St. Andrews Month, St. Pauls Month despite how christian Medieval Europe was. >>16945285If you are not trolling, then you are literally a retard. Last time I check there hasn't been any significant following of the Greco-Roman deities since the 500s AD. And no Neo-Pagan LARPers do not count.
>>16945315You have just showed: you have no clue what paganism is; you are retarded; you have no nuanced opinions on religion; you do not belong on this board anywho.
>>16944550You fell for the memes kek. Imagine being that retarded and insecure
>>16944481because most of them are not atheists, they are free masons
>>16945061Kikes are way too full of themselves for frankly petty contributions
>>16945317I doubt a nuanced view of religion is necessary for /sci/ participation you weird fundie
>>16945027>>16945032>AD or CEI rebuke you in the name of Jesus.https://youtu.be/9zBJlLbkfzA
>>16944481The metaphors that link the character to the mission are apt and theists would be doing a sacrilege, so you really need to ask why christian calendars include various greek and roman gods for days and months?
>>16945506>free masonsThey are a type of Eugenics combinations/energy pairings, that cross the Schism divide, also explains their rise during late 19th and early 20th centuries.Several years ago someone posted on /pol/ claiming to be one and said it was more "green/purple pilled", which is that deSchisming. Fighting on both sides until recently, then me and Trump and all the New World Order, where "green/purple" are a lesser spiritual focal point but critical nonetheless. The breaking up of 5-Eyes and rebuilding a new one from different components connecting much more diverse connections. Bibi saying "US and Israel wont be as close in the future." is related to it, because nose-Jews operate on the same "vector", Greater Israel (all the countries Iran attacked).They still has wierd sex shit because its not a "perfect union". None of them are except the one that is.
>>16944481>scientists are atheistsScientists arguing in the 1800s and the names of the two camps are "Vulcanists and Nepunists".:^)
>>16944542no YOU
>>16945674>ScientistsOne was claimed to be an "atheist", to which he roundly denied. Evolutionary Biology cant deny Theology's role in shaping Sociology today, hence Bret Weinstein/Jordan Peterson.
