The name "Colbert" beat out NASA's four suggested options in the space agency's effort to have the public help name the addition. The new room will be launched later this year.
NASA's mistake was allowing write-ins. Colbert urged viewers of his Comedy Central show, "The Colbert Report" to write in his name. And they complied, with 230,539 votes. That clobbered Serenity, one of the NASA choices, by more than 40,000 votes. Nearly 1.2 million votes were cast by the time the contest ended Friday.

Yeah, but there's a clause in the contest rules that allows NASA to change the name.

mmm ass kicking...aslong as it comes with cake and ice cream:-)naa but on the real there is a rEvolution stirring but unlike others in our past this is a battle of will power which can only be "1" through awareness & endurance.It is time for we the muted majority to turn up the volume and let our truths be heard loud and clear...Oppression is a perception easily overcame through awareness of self.Its time for people to take a step back and understand that we will never achieve true sovereignty through fear,hate,or separation.We are 1 allways have and allways will be.Reclaim your power as a individual expression of 1 then express divine truth.

OK, Colbert. You got you name in the sky. Now make sure that NASA keeps getting funded for projects.
It's the only way you will keep your name up there for years and years.
Do the right thing.
