NASA Nation versus Colbert Nation

Science - Space



Any one of these systems could be named after Colbert (why waste the chance?).

But what about .... Well, just use 'ur-ine' imagination.

The possibilities are not endless (infinite) but some special ones pop out at me.

Too bad Stephen's first name is not Gene: "Hi-Gene".

Anyway, NASA will announce the decision next month (late in April 2009). I'm sure the media will cover the story in great detail.

So stay tuned for more on Colbert Node or Serenity Node or whatever it will be named.

NASA still holds the hole card, or the card that is dealt face-down in stud poker so the holder of the card doesn’t have to reveal it until a more opportune time.

Watch for the showdown in April!
