I've been wondering about a "B" named shuttle for a long time, well
before anyone brought it up on the net. So after much thought, I've
come to the conclusion that "Bob" would make a good wholesome, unpretentious
name for the next orbiter. "Shuttle Bob", now doesn't that nice and
homey? It will go a long way towards making the space program popular to
the tax-paying public, since there are so many Bobs out there. :-)

                  "Houston to Bob, your go for orbit. . ."
