With a name like 'lox' you'd think the banner image would be Pisces.
Cool project though, I will definitely be playing around with this.

Pardon my ignorance, but how does lox relate to Pisces? I don't get the connection with cancer either, but the first thing that comes to mind on hearing Lox is liquid oxygen as it is used in rockets. So it's a connection between Rust language and astrodynamics. Is there something that makes Pisces more appropriate for this?
Sibling comment mentioned the connection between lox and Pisces, but the connection to Cancer is that the mascot for Rust is a crab.
True! That's an embarrassing thing to forget, given that Rust is my primary programming language.
I assume they’re making a reference to Lox the food (brined Salmon), so a fish is appropriate.
Think it comes from the german word for salmon, "Lachs", or at least an earlier version of the word.

Oh! This is the first time I'm hearing about it. That definitely looks like a missed opportunity.

It's written in Rust so it's all about the language instead of the mission.
Nah, not really. I sometimes wish that this was all about Rust but as of now the library is mostly being used through the Python wrapper.
