I certainly think Sagan should be honoured somehow. I think Sagan City sounds quite good for the first habitat on Mars.
For the rocket itself? I suppose Von Braun would be the obvious candidate...but that's never going to fly given his record on WW2 slave labour.
Why not the Aldrin? Buzz has kept the flag flying for off Earth human exploration during some of the darkest days. Aldrin One sounds good to me.

How about naming it after its lead engineer, who has most likely spent every waking hour for years, missing holidays / birthdays / etc, just to see it fly?

Each name could be used for the first cargo ships to mars. Or we could call it for any other astronauts that have paid the price of america's space programs start.
