Space.com reports that NASA has chosen a name for the Crew Exploration Vehicle and the project that the CEV will operate under: the Orion craft will be part of Project Orion.
The only problem with that name is that it is already taken by another NASA project. The original Project Orion was conceived as a nuclear-pulse driven spacecraft, and is ably documented at the Deep Space Bombardment blog.
NASA officials had this to say about the new CEV project name: "Hi, I'm Larry, and this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl... my parents done run outa names"
