Vote now for the juiciest LOHAN backronym
You have the final say on our spaceplane project name
Reader poll The El Reg Special Projects Bureau has wasted quite enough time faffing about with the name of our audacious high altitude, helium-assisted ballocket adventure, so it's time to nail this one once and for all.

Please note that once the poll results are in, the matter is closed. Any attempt to skew the vote will provoke immediate action by the Special Projects Bureau's Black Ops Division, and may result in the miscreant being blindfolded and force-fed vast quantities of poutine. Consider yourselves warned. ®
