If NASA won’t name a module after you, at least you might get the standard consolation prize: a space treadmill. That was the message from Stephen Colbert in a special commentary on NASA TV. Colbert’s clip is part of NASA TV’s coverage of STS-128. Discovery is set to launch August 25, 2009 at 1:38 am EDT.

In addition to talking about the new Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill (COLBERT) that will be going to the ISS aboard Discovery, Colbert also congratulated NASA on the organization’s many scientific achievements over the past year:

“Dramatic pictures of Cassini, finding water on mars, and your dramatic discovery of finding an administration that believes in science,” said the host of Comedy Central’s Colbert Report. He also encouraged NASA to launch a probe to discover if there’s oil in heaven.

Although denied the honor of having a module with his name on it, Colbert did have the aforementioned treadmill named after him, and also the nifty mission patch shown at right.
