As streets at air bases are named after fallen pilots, future spacecraft could bear the names of fallen astronauts.
This would be a good idea, too; better, in that someone would be more likely to wonder why a craft bore a particular person's name rather than an adjective. I remember wondering why a car was called an "Edsel". I didn't wonder what went into naming the Mustang.

"I remember wondering why a car was called an "Edsel"."It was named after one of the Ford Grandsons, but a simpering rump-swab named Robert S. McNamara, before took a "higher calling" to totally screw up the Pentagon!
