It's also a particle and a self-propelled gun. There's a limited number of short legible words.

		I chose the name because of the particle. I sent a letter to the Soviet Union asking if they were ok with me using the name, never heard back!

Yet another example of intellectual property maximization in action. Hacker News / Reddit style communities are very intellectual-property focused. It’s quite interesting to see. Back when I was young, communities like this were anti-IP.

Now most such forums are very pro IP with a maximalist view of copyright and, in this case, trademark. Fascinating to see this shift happen.
