And Now, a Geek News Flash, Beep Beep...

There's not a whole lot that I can add to that awesome, save to say that as a way to drum up publicity for the real-life space program it works. It's the first time since I was seven or so that I've been at all interested in it. I think I lost all interest in real life space exploration when I found out that in order to be an astronaut you had to be really good at math, and that we weren't going to the moon anymore, and that there are no actual Martians (or Santa Claus to conquer them for that matter!). Oh man, that was disillusioning. Erm, anyways, I hope to hell someone gets video footage of that ceremony (Chewie and Boba Fett!) up on Youtube, that'll be priceless.
