To be fair to the layperson in the case of SpaceX they're not making it any better. It's called the "Falcon Heavy" now, but it used to officially be "Falcon 9 H

To be fair to the layperson in the case of SpaceX they're not making it any better. It's called the "Falcon Heavy" now, but it used to officially be "Falcon 9 Heavy". If they didn't want it to be confused with a minor reconfiguration of the "Falcon 9" they couldn't have done worse. Ditto with "Dragon" and "Crew Dragon".
