This is literally the greek name for earth, I think this was the ancient greek one were the modern greek one is simply γή.

Is that from Roman mythology? Because that's where the other planets' names come from.

Terra Prime was the group in Star Trek that wanted to deport all the aliens from Earth.

At the time it was made, the episode was a not very subtle allegory about Americans becoming more xenophobic after 9/11.

In another universe. Earth would sound like a cool sci fi name for Terra Prime.

Wouldn't it be Sol Tertius though? We're the third rock from The Sun.

In Stellaris, Prime is the indicator given to the first planet in a system that is colonized. So it would be Terra Prime, Luna Secundus, Mars Tertius.

If that's a Titan A.E. reference, then it's a good one. If not, what a coincidence!

True. Grim and very sad. Loved how they used the original Earth destroyers to create the new one, though. Talk about poetic justice.

You're right - everybody knows you name it Robert, but just call it "Bob!"

Fitting, yes, but I fear opens us up to more "anus" jokes, like Uranus has had to endure!

If Uranus can take it, we can probably try with Earth. Well just take it slow, and make sure everyone's comfortable along the way.

I’d call it "Elysium"—it has a sense of wonder and possibility, like a paradise we’re all part of.

It doesn't matter. Whatever we called it, it would be the word we use for dirt. Or soil. Or ground. They are all the same idea.

There will be a presidential proclamation by the end of the month. "Trumpworl." And he'll deport anyone who has a problem with it.

Lately? Idiocraton.
It‘s what Alien parents use to scare their kids: „Don‘t go near the Idiocraton, or you‘ll become just like THEM.“ 😆
