0 MikeD Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I would say Thor because the other would have known Zeus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yodell Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) I would say Earth.. all the others are known as GODS to one civilization or another Edited June 19, 2012 by Yodell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yodell Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Or maybe Gemini .. it's the only reference to DUALITY .. all the others are *stand-alone* as gods or planets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 fabpig Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 All are missiles/rockets/space related objects apart from Earth. Apollo is the only deity in both Roman and Greek legend which has the same name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Potok Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Gemini only thing that is not in our galaxy ? Others are planets/moons/volcanoes (no rockets:D) Edited June 19, 2012 by Potok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo is the only deity in both Roman and Greek legend which has the same name. Bingo! One other answer was correct, but you also got the reason correct. Didn't know that fact about Apollo.

0 bonanova Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 How is Earth not a space related object? Back in the '60s and going forward, rockets and space exploration missions were given names. Earth is the only word in the list that was not so used.

0 Yoruichi-san Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Wow...that was unexpected. And here I was trying to figure out how many of each word would fit neatly around each other...*whistling* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 fabpig Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 How is Earth not a space related object? I should've said space FLIGHT related. Thor and Atlas are missiles. Mercury, Apollo, Gemini, Saturn, Mars, Venus were the names given to space missions or the rockets used by them. (The last 2 are fireworks as well!)

0 Yodell Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) WD fab... should've thought about space missions .. Gemini threw me off.. did not heard of a space mission (or rocket) named like that... and my thought of gods in different civ.. was a bit thrown off by Atlas.. which was a demigod.. not a full god (Gemini was one of the pluri-gods in Battlestar galactica ) edited to add spoiler tag Edited June 22, 2012 by bonanova Correction to spoiler tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
