> Perhaps the next shuttle should be named "Phoenix".

I feel this name would be a bit trite.  Also, to have a shuttle
named after something that "rises from its ashes" would remind us
of the images of the accident, rather than commemorate the
Challenger herself and her crew.

Though I tend not to much agree with this idea, either, I
consider it probable that the new orbiter will be called
"Challenger II".
