Our chance to take a name in the sky!

[-ELF-]

Kerbals all over the Unikerse! Stay while, and listen!

We have an option to give the name to some space body within our solar system!

There are two asteroids, which Vishnu Reddy had discovered in 2003 year:

2003 FB 122 and 2003 FC 122

Now he started the campaign to gather name proposal for those celestial bodies!

It is our chance to place Kerbin up there.

I personally invite you to take part in voting. If enough people would vote for name "Kerbin", i suppose KSP will have its own memorial up in the sky, where it leads us.

I think, for the project that started like a video game, but acquired a status of best rocketry science simulator and mentioned by NASA, it is great honor to have a mark in the noble space.

Fill in the query to propose your name for asteroid. And let this name be Kerbin.

Let's take our place in the Universe. Let's make a mark in the infinity of space. Let's build a statue for the glory our valued SQUAD. Let's do it.

Tell everyone about this thread. We are power together.

For the empire!

What naming explanation should we use?

[-ELF-]

I suppose any words from your heart will fit. We should not use the same description, because then it will look like spam attack.

I have used something like:

"Kerbin" is the name for fictional planet in video game called Kerbal Space Program.

Actually this game has become a great learning tool, which attracts more and more people to learn more about astronomy and rocket science.

This name is an honor for project which tryes to make people think about space scientific way.

[astropapi1]

Yeah, that's what I thought right after posting.

Oh well, hope to see Kerbin in our skies.

[astropapi1]

*Bump. People, this is our chance!

[Deadpangod3]

Do you have to be above a certain age?

[Galacticruler]

actually, I think Dres would be a better idea, considering that it IS an asteroid.

[Flymetothemun]

Do you have to be above a certain age?

Nope, but there is an Over 18 and an Under 18 category.

[Omicron314]

Did it. So... when will we find out whether or not our spam attack - I mean, request - has been successful or not?

[TheBadAstronomer]

Did it. So... when will we find out whether or not our spam attack - I mean, request - has been successful or not?

We will find out in November. (According to the website.)

[-ELF-]

Actually, submissions will be no more accepted after Nov 30.

But, citation from the site "The two winners will be announced around the end of December."

So, it can become our christmas gift.

[M.Wolfy]

Why kerbin? Why not Dres?

And I Also can't think of a good enough reason ._.

[-ELF-]

Mainly because Kerbin is the most-known body ingame, and Dres is barely visited by around 30% of players, as I see it.

So Kerbin is like a business card of KSP. That's why I supposed it would be better.

P.S. Thinking about the sizes, it should be called Pol then.

[Jones-250]

Kerbin suggested.

[NASAFanboy]

I'm going to focus on finding my own exoplanet, whih I shall name Duna.

[Needles_10]

I'm going to focus on finding my own exoplanet, whih I shall name Duna.

It must have martian qualities. If anyone finds a Green Gas Planet, we ought to make a petition to name it Jool.

[zxczxczbfg]

An asteroid? Then name it Gilly!

[Halban]

I've voted! I really hope we get an asteroid named Kerbin. That would so cool

[aceassasin]

This needs to be stickied.

[-ELF-]

Yes, I suppose.

Anybody knows how to request moderator to make this one sticky?

Also, if mods will read this, please, make it sticky. We have time only till the end of november.

[-ELF-]

UP: As long as it is not sticky, and the time is running out, I will up it from time to time, so that more people could see it. Remember - no spam, but more entries can give us more chance.

Go kerbal!

[-ELF-]

UP: Next week will be last, where suggestions are still accepted. I will "UP" this thread no more until the end of december, when winners will be chosen. Anyway, either we take our place or not, I will place winning names here, just FYI.

[Pigbear]

Yay, This would be great.

If we are sucessful, we need a kerbin terraforming and genetic engineering program to recretate kerbin.

Another update on this, winners are delayed a little bit, I asked man in charge about dates, and here is the reply:

Dear Vasilev,

thanks for your email. We received more than 1500 suggestions, so it is taking us a bit longer to go through all entries.

We hope to announce the winner around the end of January.

Best regards,

Alex

So, fingers (still) crossed, stay tuned.
