    just stop. You're just embarrassing yourself. Making the same joke in every post about the launch is not going to make it funny.

    It's not a joke, it's a criticism of nazi heritage during a time when nazi imagery is resurfacing.

    This is nazi imagery that never left the surface.

    I agree it's not funny.

      Nazi imagery? What? What the hell are you talking about?

      The name comes from the French spelling of Ariadne, a Greek mythical character.

        You're not very bright, are you? It has nothing to do with nazism, it's a reference to Greek mythology

              Rocketry has an undeniably nazi past.

              Naming Europe's largest rocket program since the nazis any variation of "Aryan" is nazi imagery.

                And they conveniently left off the d in "ariadne".

                Obvious dogwhistle is obvious.

                Changing the y to an i and adding an e to make it feminine doesn't make it less racist.

                    Only trolls I see are the ones defending a name with obviously nazi roots in an industry pioneered by people proud to call themselves Aryan.

                                          The I and the Y serve the same phonetic function.

                                          Then they slapped on an "e" to make it feminine. Standard French grammar.

                                          No it really doesn't.

                                          Aryan (/ˈɛəriən/)

                                          Vs

                                          Ariane (/ɑːriˈɑːnə/)

                                          How does the I and y serve the same phonetic function?

                                          And now it's not just Nazi but racist as well? Get out of here.
