    NASA made themselves look like complete asses with the vote thing. Why even bother having a vote if you're going to ignore the results?


    It should have been "Colbert", but even if they dismissed that, they should have chosen the second pick, not the eighth.

    @dry-roasted-peanuts: Naming a planet Bob is far superior to naming a space module though.

    Can't name it Kaiser, because of the whole Kaiser Wilhelm association, but I was thinking more along the lines of Ether, as in the Greek mythological personification of the "upper air", space and heaven.

    @Kaiser-Machead: You suck at naming things.


    I would name it the Orbital Micro Gravity 1 Space Module 1


    Of course, that's a very unwieldy name, so we could abbreviate it.


    To OMG! Space Module!

    A space module named Colbert would sound retarded. In fact, the whole contest sounded stupid. This sort of thing should've been only limited to grade school children.


    Well. Considering how the module is a life support system/waste management module, I think Tranquility was an excellent choice.

    If they weren't going to name it Colbert then they should have named it Serenity. I get the reason for picking a name on the list over Colbert but why not Serenity since it got more votes than Tranquility? That was horrible.

    @TheCrudMan: NASA didn't think it would be popular to have a module named after adult diapers.

    @bornonbord: It is a Colbert. I refer to it as Colbert Paper. NASA's flip flopping on this issue doesn't negate the fact that the majority voted to name the module Colbert. But they pulled a Corzine and said "screw you voting public!". So they said, OK, we'll name our "toilet/bathroom" after you. Which was cool. But no. NASA all of a sudden wants to worry about it's image after that astronaut slipped on her Still-britches and went cross country. So they said, well make up an acronym that spells out COLBERT, and make GitEmSteveDave look like an idiot b/c people will think he means the COLBERT when he says Colbert. Well screw you NASA.


    It's no wonder SpaceBat said "Gods, these people are nuts. I'm getting out of here".
