    You give objects girls names. This has been the case from the dawn of modern English language and possibly even before that too.

    Because women are objects? I think I get it now

    Because it's pretty much the dumbest question I've seen someone ask all day.

    It costs a million dollars every time they have to abort the launch.

    That's $6m down the drain so far.

    Latest News: Good to go just after 11.

    I thought it was something along the lines of 200,000$. I remember reading it somewhere.

    Anyway, for anyone interested in seeing it, it's launching in about 12 minutes. Head over to NASA TV and head outside. It should be going WSW - East.
