Colbert Wins Space Station Name Contest
As we speculated a couple of weeks back, it has come to pass. Reader mknewman writes to tell us that comedian Stephen Colbert has won the vote to have his name immortalized (or at least until it crashes) as the moniker on NASA's newest addition to the International Space Station. We can but wonder what NASA will do now. "NASA's mistake was allowing write-ins. Colbert urged viewers of his Comedy Central show, 'The Colbert Report' to write in his name. And they complied, with 230,539 votes. That clobbered Serenity, one of the NASA choices, by more than 40,000 votes. Nearly 1.2 million votes were cast by the time the contest ended Friday."
that my write in vote for Bigus Dickus didn't win... I thought I had the mobs support. Cheers, endxv

The Colbert Spaceport?
What a fool believes, he sees, no wise man has the power to reason away.
maybe the astronauts will cut off the beginning and just call it the Bert module
The next module has to be "Ernie".
Your right, it's SyFy!

I wonder if he'd let it be named Serenity for a date with Inara Serra / Morena Baccarin?
They'll just affix it somehow with some massive brass balls.

Not to diminish Colbert's fame or anything, but just about anything trumps Scientology. I've got a broken toaster that I'd rather consult for spiritual advice.

Sigs. We don't need no steenking sigs.
There is no way in hell that we could send up astronauts until we finish "Microsoft ISS Node 3.11(for workgroups)".
Colbert's gonna have to redo his song/DLC for Rockband "Charlene (I'm right behind you)" to add in "...I think of you when I'm watchin' you from the ISS far above you..."
