If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

One of my favorite fan theories is that the authors did not name the ship after the horse from don quixote directly. There is a Rush song called Cygnus X-1 that's basically a space opera and the ship in that song is called the Rocinate, and one of the authors of The Expanse is a huge rush fan. So in my mind that is where the ships name comes from.
I also learned it from Rush, hell yeah!
Wasn't the expanse loosely based on a play by post RPG game the author was running? Maybe the name came from that? Isn't that also why Shed was killed off, the player couldn't play anymore.
