      “Are we all sobbing?!” Is just so unbelievably cringe I downvoted out of reflex. This would be 100000x better if they just didn’t say that last part.

    This was intended before the mission. After conducting observations they were going to propose naming two craters. One for his wife, and the other for the space craft “Integrity”. The final approval is going to have to be from the International Astronomical Union (IAU) as they control the naming of all celestial bodies and geographic features on them.

      What’s the over-under on Trump demanding that both things get named after him / trying to sell the naming rights, and then when the IAU says that’s not how that works, he throws a tantrum, names them after himself anyway, and starts a Legion of Doom alternate IAU chaired by himself, Steve Bannon, and Kid Rock?

        They can buy one of those packs to name a star after yourself. I’m sure they’d prefer that over a dirty crater.

    They just proposed it, so sounds like they aren’t the ones who get to make the final decision.

    I suspect they’re going to end up calling it ‘trump crater’ or something equally heinous.
