Re: What's in a name? New Championship Divisions

Looking at the division already we have:

"historical" or "classic" engineer(Archimedes)
Astronomer (Galileo)
Classical physicist (Newton)
Modern Physicist (Curie/Einstein)

The new fields should probably be named for people in different fields. The two that come to mind are Aerospace and Computer Science. My nominations would be:

Aerospace - Goddard, von Braun, or Qian Xuesen (He founded JPL and the Chinese space program, his bio is pretty interesting.)

Computer Science - Hopper, Lovelace, Turing, or maybe even Babbage.
