Out of 1.2 million votes , Colbert got 230,549 voting vs Serenity , which had about 40,000 less ballot . But Colbert fans , do n’t be too happy yet : NASA may not name the module Colbert after all because they reserved the right to turn down the success .
They are considering it , though . If I were NASA , I would totally do it on one term : Get Colbert to have a two - minute NASA segment on every program . Nothing like trading geeky poetry for gratis advertising and promotion of the space programme , specially if it ’s odd as only Colbert could do . [ Physorg ]
