Stephen Colbert goes into orbit

It's not like a terrestial monument that ordinary people will regularly bump into, so I completely support NASA honoring its competition results and name a node of the space station "Colbert". NASA needs to take itself less seriously anyway, and the move would likely get more people interested in earth-orbit advertising and a possible revenue stream for NASA.

excerpt:
Quote:Old-style "get the public involved" PR slammed into new-style comedy & social media when comedian and satirist Stephen Colbert won his bid to have the new space station node named "Colbert."
NASA didn't quite count on the fan interaction that The Colbert Report could spin up. The agency opened the hatches to Colbert's "MyFace" generation when it offered some suggested names--like "Serenity"--and asked folks to write in their own candidates. |
