Quick! Do something!

There is a naming competition for the next targets for New Horizons. I have submitted the names "Gilly" and/or "HowFarAreWeFromPluto". Please vote here:

Anyone who doesn't vote is a bloody traitor... no pressure...

So this literally just started?

I was going to go suggest Planet McPlanetFace, because I'm broken that way. But then I saw that one of the possible names was Z'ha'dum, so I had to vote for that.

What about Xen?

1. I love how the BAS had such a great sense of humor about the whole thing.

2. I think it's a great cautionary tale about the perils of crowdsourcing.

That...rings a bell...I do believe "Crius" was a planet in the (rather excellent) game Privateer II: The darkening, starring Clive Owen (young!), John Hurt and Christopher Walken no less!

I was going to nominate Eeloo but they say they can't accept names that have "commercial value"

Ahw, bummer. That means they’re totally gonna get trolled now, and we all know who’ll win.

+1 for "Excession" but I have a sneaky feeling we should keep it for a real one.
