NEW YORK (AP) - Stephen Colbert is still clinging to hope that NASA will name a new room at the international space station after him.

The space agency said Friday it would announce the name of the module Tuesday on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report." Astronaut Sunita Williams will appear on the program.

The agency held an online contest, letting the public vote on a name for a future addition to the station. "Colbert" beat out NASA's four suggested options: Serenity, Legacy, Earthrise and Venture.

The comedian said in a statement: "I certainly hope NASA does the right thing. Just kidding. I hope they name it after me."

Since Suni Williams helped bring the BDS/BDM to the Space Station, I hope she does us proud !

You know that dipshit threatened a lawsuit if NASA doesn't name the node after him? What on God's green earth has he even done to deserve getting his moronic name on a space-station compartment? Hell, if we're going to name a compartment after any living being we should name it 'Whedon'.

on what fucking grounds? 'i won fair and square'? except for the fact that nasa clearly said on the site 'you may submit your own SUGGESTIONS' not 'you may submit your own nominations, the winner of which we will use as the name' *dies*

he hasn't done *anything* to deserve having his name on the ISS. and even if Serenity weren't in the running, i still think tranquility or earthrise or whatever the other name was would be a million times better than 'colbert'. and nasa does reserve the right to name it whatever the fuck they want, they just held a vote to narrow it down. it happens all the effing time.

fucking idiot.
