Colbert wins space station name contest.

Last night before lab I told Dr. DePree my idea of presenting my planet wank paper at SpARC. He loved it. So now on top of everything else, I'll be developing that paper more and putting a talk together to present in a month's time, and even developing the paper enough to be published somewhere.
