I don't think changing the name to "net.space" would be a
good idea because it sounds too general, but I am not
attached to the nostalga of the name of the first
space-worthy shuttle.  I'd prefer "net.shuttle".  After
all, there are several others besides the Columb.a.  It is
sort of neat to use the columbia name, but I don't think
it's any big deal.
