Stephen Colbert is on a one-man mission to have NASA Node 3, the newest addition to the International Space Station, named after himself. We find this terribly conceited. We’re using “conceited” in a “we’re pissed off that we didn’t think of it first” sort of way. That’s why we’re asking you to help us right this wrong while simultaneously stroking our bloated-like-1977-Elvis egos.
Here’s all you have to do:
1. Click on this
link to NASA.
2. Do not be alarmed that all the hot chicks disappeared. It’s OK.
3. Look for the “Suggest Your Own” box on the right side.
4. As tempting as it is, do not type in "Snot Rocket," “These Nuts” or “Boobies."
5. Type “Maxim” into the suggestion box and click "Vote." Do not feel bad. As best we can tell, most areas of the station are named after strippers: Destiny, Dawn, and Star. Seriously.
6. Crack open a cold one after its December launch, stare into the night sky, and feel all warm-and-fuzzy knowing that
Maxim is watching over you.
