Colbert Wins NASA Space Station Name Contest

"Will you now commit to naming that module Colbert if I win your online vote?" Colbert asked William Gerstenmaier, NASA associate administrator for space operations, during a satellite interview on Tuesday.

"Well, we're going to have to go think about that as we get all the votes and we see where we are," Gerstenmaier responded, noting that the voting continues until March 20.

"That's NASA's problem," Colbert said. "You guys think too much."

He won! Balloon drop! Colbert wins NASA space station name contest!

UPDATE:
Stephen Colbert may have won NASA's poll to rename a module on the International Space Station, but NASA doesn't really want to go through with it. Instead, they might just name a toilet after him.

Despite beating out Serenity by more than 40,000 votes, NASA still has the right to choose the name on its own, and Colbert might just not have the, well, gravitas necessary for the job. But hey, he still gets something! They're talking about possibly naming the new toilet being delivered to the station "Colbert," so at least something up there will get his name, even if it's just where the astronauts go to drop a deuce.

The Boogey Stephen

Yay, I uploaded a terrifying photo. It's like that llama from a while back; nothing to do with horror, yet still scary. From Justin, as usual.

Vote for Colbert!

NASA wants your opinion in naming the International Space Station’s Node 3...

Voting will be open until March 20th, 2009.

And Stephen Colbert wants us to name it after him, so go HERE, select "Suggest your own", and type in "Colbert". It's as simple as that, though complicated by the explanation. EDIT: You can vote once every day.

We're #1!
