NASA To Air Stephen Colbert Message On Eve Of Shuttle Launch
NASA will broadcast a special message from comedian Stephen Colbert on Monday, Aug. 24, as the space shuttle Discovery prepares to deliver the COLBERT treadmill to the International Space Station.

The message will air on NASA Television after the shuttle's fueling commentary concludes at approximately 7:15 p.m. EDT.

The name Colbert received the most entries in NASA's online poll to name the station's Node 3 module, so NASA named its new space station treadmill the Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill, or COLBERT. NASA named the module Tranquility.

Colbert, the host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," took an interest in the poll and urged his viewers to suggest his name, which received the most entries.

Discovery and its seven-member crew are set to launch at 1:36 a.m. EDT Tuesday, Aug. 25, on a 13-day mission to deliver scientific experiments, equipment and supplies to the station.

At one point in history the idea of having someone from earth in outspace at all times over our head in orbit would be a novel idea. Now well its common place!

Ya know, I remember my dad and me talking about that once. When he was born in 1928, an airplane was a very rare site. He remembers, growing up in the '30's, that even during school everyone would run to the windows and look up when a plane was heard going overhead because it was such a rare occurrence. Then, just 41 years after he was born, we had men walking on the moon.
