я уже ссылался недавно у кого-то на старика Рэя но повторюсь:
Or, most incredible of all, imagine that the Vatican decided that Pope John III wished to build a spacecraft titled The Holy Ghost in order to fly across the universe in search of the beginnings of Creation. With the moon as base and Mars as second manger, that Pope might move on to study the wellsprings of the cosmos.
What then would be the effect on our prejudiced secular America? Would we not build a bigger, better, and almost more holy rocket to follow the Ecclesiastical dusts?
Or what if the Muslims . . .?
But no, perish the thought.

На самом деле, это все же американцы первые начали, как мне(традиционно) кажется. Если космос в принципе не удалось приватизировать под монопольную национальную идею (хотя контора классно называется), то на ярлыки другим перцу хватило. Вот, скажем, кто придумал слово "тайконавт"? ;)
