Space sim with heavy emphasis on the "sim" part. Possibly a 4x space sim, depending on how far I can take it.

Quasar would make for a good part in a name, as some other people have proven. Quasar Quest has a ring to it, but probably isn't apropriate.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

2D Space Sim: The Space Simening?

 :P

Nah, probably something with some fancy latin or ancient greek in it. Possibly ending in "quest". Perhaps an ancient greek letter could be used, paired with a fancy roman number?

Zeta IV Quest?

Quest probably doesn't fit for a (possibly 4x) sim in SPESSH.

Yes, it's doubtful there will be any form of questing. Some randomly generated missions but no epic quest to save the universe from the evil gorgatron. And before you ask, no, I'm not naming my game "Moon Master".

I was thinking about making it several thousand years after humanity has become extinct. Basically forcing the player to play an alien with humans being a mysterious ancient race.

The way some of these names sound it wouldn't surprise me. To be honest I'm kinda growing attached to "Astronautics". I'm gonna give it a couple more days, see if anything better pops up.

Work totally wore me out yesterday so I didn't get a chance to work on anything. Today I plan on adding an AI ship, see how well dog fighting works. Then I'll probably start posting some videos.

Alright, I suggest you update the OP to include a better title and content, then :P
