new space shuttle is named Daedalus, the same name  that Corvins team had in 1958. If Corvin demanded this naming along  with the right to make the flight, we should have seen him do it;  but if not, then we should see him gloating or Gerson complaining  about the coincidence. Further, as there is no famous ship of  exploration named Daedalus, this name contravenes standard naming  policy.
