>CRVX? Maybe I'm just not up with euphemisms from the youth of today, but I can't help feeling I'm missing something.
sorry it was Crew 'Return' Vehicle (I suppose Rescue sounds bad) and yes somebody at Nasa did decide that CRV-X sounded like cervix and that was close enough to a lady's front parts that it was obscene and so the project was renamed to X-CRV before being scrapped as a totally failure.
IIRC it was reported and widely mocked on el'reg at the time
