The name of the rocket is New Shepard...not "shepherd." It is named after our first astronaut, Alan Shepard. So, those who are trying to confuse it with "shepherd" are just playing with their own ignorance.
It was named, as a production model, after Alan Shepard, our first astronaut to go into space on a ballistic shot. What is offensive about such a mission at any time of the year?
People see faces in clouds, too. Or even faces on Mars. Not real. The phenomenon is called pareidolia. I have a composite linoleum floor in my washroom, and when pondering on the throne, I can see credible faces out of the random junctions of the linoleum matrix. Are they real faces? Of course not. It is just that things can sometimes fall into unintended patterns. Especially if you are looking at everything like a Rorschach blot, finding butterflies or Baphomets according to what you want to find.
Now, if you can find the instructions given to the artist to include this and that element in the patch design---and also that it should look like a face of Baphomet when viewed upside-down---you might have an argument. But you can't, and you don't. You just have a knee-jerk axe to grind.
AND everyone is forgetting that name of the rocket was New Shepard... right before Easter. Cmon guys.
Did you mean to say shepherd????
Yes, I turn off autocorroect on my phone, so I spelled it wrong.

Boy have you got a lot of catching up to do...
It's for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Sadly, sometimes illuminating the truth is fruitless.

Well, you apparently never knew, and cannot explain why there is any offense. I don't think I am the one who needs to catch up.
