I really can't wait for the right name to come to me - I've been waiting for almost a year and it just isn't coming. And I've sent a deposit to my web sight designer, and I think everything needs to be set up with the domain name already picked out, so the time has come. For some reason this feels like getting married.
I have demonstrated to my heart's content - finally - that satellites are not and probably have never been made of steel. Sputnik was aluminum, and as far as I can tell aluminum was the material of choice until recently, when graphite epoxy compositions became used for some purposes. So no matter how kewl steelmoons.com sounds, it just doesn't work.
I have also explored whether silicon is still being used in satellites, and the high-end communications satellites are now using gallium arsenide for the solar panels. But gallium-arsenide moons doesn't grab me.
I just registered aluminummoons.com.
I looked at hundreds of possible domain names today, and over the course of the last year or so probably thousands. You may find it amusing that allthegoodonesaretaken.com is . . . . taken.
So is igiveup.com.
It's either satellite-internet.com, hyphen and all, or satellitegazette.com, satellitepost.com, satellect.com, satellingo.com, or aluminummoons.com.
I've probably got a few weeks, and then I guess if the right one ever comes to me I can do some kind of rollover. |
