Rock 'N' Roll Minor Planets
I always thought that Motorhead deserved to have a planet named after them, and they do, and I'm sure as soon as one becomes avaliable within the Solar System it will be so. Till then, planets, comets and other astral bodies have been named ofter many late greats, including Frank Zappa, George Harrison and Elvis (Well, late anyway (Or is he...)).
A full list can be found here.
Raises interesting thouhts within my mind this. Will we ever turn our telescopes to the sky one day in the hopes of Ringo Star passing by? Will Frank Zappa go of track and fly into the eart destorying us all? Should we use minor planets Enya & McCartney be in the future, used as prison camps? I do hope so.
What if a planet is named and it turns out to be inhabited by intellegent life? Will we one day contact them and have to sheepishly explain that we let someone name thier planet Bon Jovi? I wouldn't want to go breaking that news to somebody...
