NASA needs a name for its new satellite. We can think of a good name…

Thanks to Emily for the idea.

    That really is a good idea. Too bad it’s gotta be explained in 25 words or less. I would have quoted the Lou Reed song lyrics. I think S.O.L. itself is a great name for a satellite though too. It was the name of the laser satellite in Akira.

    My explanation was “a reminder of the love between the countries involved” (France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden, and the U.S).

    My reason: “It’s universal, unforgettable and everyone will be talking about a Satellite of Love. (and aliens are less likely to destroy us if they encounter it.)

    I submitted the following:

    MIssion To Investigate Gamma And Tremendous Energy astronomy

    Rather sweet, don’t you think, considering that the resultant data will MITIGATE (ie., moderate) all existing information that is currently “known” about Gamma rays?
