Wow!

I just discovered there's an asteroid named after Prof. Philip John Stooke! How cool is that?

I wonder if asteroid Oner is next. . .

Asteroids? Isn't that a painful swelling that astronauts get from sitting while driving for prolonged periods of time.

A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

You have to be dead to get a crater on the Moon except under special circumstances like having been there. It's tempting, but I'll hold off for now.

Congratulations! And yes, we are all hoping you don't become eligible for a lunar crater anytime soon.
