    Can the sell the naming rights like they do sports stadiums? Maybe we can make a buck off it toward the operating costs. (The Apple Node?)

    @nutbastard: My posts are not making it... hmmm, let's retry that


    Does it help that I occasionally still watch aqua teen hunger force? For the most part I think just about everything on tv now is crap. In the occasion that I'm actually watching TV, I am seldom watching anything other than Discovery, History, PBS or other channels of the sort.

    Now they'll have to worry about a Callahan Fullbore Autolock putting holes in that thing instead of just smashed up satellite's.

    I wonder if they knew that when they put the name in?


    I'd assume that NASA people are pretty big Sci-Fi fans as well but at the same time they probably try to avoid it.

    Can we get a paint job as well? Perhaps have the crew sign a plaque to be slapped over the first leak?
