        Silly rabbit.  It's from TSR's choice of font in the SJ logo, which
made it look like "SpellJammer".  That spawned such lovely spellings as
"HeroSpace" and "WildSpace"; which, in turn, spawned "Hero Space" and
"Wild Space", I think (though I havn't seen those as often).

        As for me, I'm still curious about why "Phlow" is the in vogue
spelling of "flow".  *shrug*  (It's actually *longer* to type!)
