John_Yossarian - interesting point. This was discussed before, but the search functionality in this forum is far too basic and doesn’t seem to search content, only users and topics.
I think ultimately ACS needs to think of its name and the associations of it in light of what’s happening in the world right now. It’s ultimately a marketing decision, as, whatever the name is, the machine is the same. Personally if I were to buy one I wouldn’t care, but that’s me. Unfortunately people will tend to, generically speaking, associate it with the origin of the name and recent events rather than the era of the space race itself.
