It’ll be the core of countless jokes. I remember a TV series called “Fireball XL5” about a spaceship with that name and I always found it amusing someone would want to board something named like that.

Spaceships always land as a fireball (atmospheric re-entry), so it's a fitting name IMO.

Only the real ones. When you have sci-fi rated engines, you can do a full propulsive reentry down to the landing area without the need for atmospheric braking.
