The consensus of my friends list suggests that the first five ships should be called

Arthur C. Clarke
Jules Verne
Isaac Asimov
Robert A. Heinlein
Douglas Adams

Two Brits, two Americans, and a Frenchman. Interesting. Thanks all!

No H.G. Wells?
That's Just plain wrong.

Also, Calling a ship after Douglas Adams is just asking for trouble, in my not-at-all-humble opinion.

Wells only got mentioned twice. Three times, now, which pulls him level with Adams...
