"Semroc" meaning?
Hello All,
I was just reading through Semroc Astronautics' May 1970 issue of "Astronautic Modeler" (see: http://www.ninfinger.org/rockets/ca...0semroccat.html ) when a question occurred to me: What does "Semroc" mean? Now: One possible meaning might be that the "Sem" syllable stands for "Seminal." My 1978 Random House Dictionary gives the following three definitions for the word "seminal": [1] "Of or pertaining to semen or seed." (I think *this* one can be discounted... :-) ) [2] "Having possibilities of future development." [3] "Highly original or creative." Definitions [2] and [3] seem consistent with the company's raison d'etre, as the articles in the "Astronautic Modeler"--from the company's earliest days--make it clear that future development and being creative (and encouraging creativity in the SAMs [Semroc Astronautic Modelers] of those years) were Semroc's goals (and still are). Admittedly, though, I'm just guessing; it is possible, and even likely, that only Carl and/or Sheryl know for sure what the company's name means. Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help! |

Not to put words into Carl's mouth, but don't throw away the possibility that it might mean South Eastern Model ROCetry... Carl is located in North Carolina, after all... |
