Glynn Lunney

Everyone likes anniversaries and statistical coincidence.
50 years in the past (from 2018), the first manned Apollo flight (Apollo 7) was launched. That's why the NASA guys, math-loving as they are, named their 2018 flight after Apollo 7 flight director Glynn Lunney (check the wiki).
a) it's not too bad a name,
b) the NASA could really do like that and
c), what's the most important, we could show off with some serious research done: look, we thoroughly thought about our naming!

Sister ship would have to be named Gene Krantz (Kranz)...
