Watching The Colbert Report the other night I got the impression he threw his name into the ring in part for laughs but also in an attempt to defeat "Xenu" which the honchos as Scientology are having their members vote for. Apparently Xenu is the name of the spaceship Scientologists believe brought their followers to Earth. Given my druthers I'd choose Colbert over Xenu but I'd be willing to bet that NASA will not allow either even if they win. BTW, I see BBC America has renewed Life On Mars for another season. Time to get a dish? patrick On 10 Mar 2009, at 22:57, Joe Bauman wrote:
Don't let NASA make a joke out of naming a node of the Space Station. See my blog:
