An asteroid named for an actor who played a fictional character in a TV space show.
How gay is that? ;)

I’m ok with this. Takei is a cool name.
Some names work better than others for asteroids, and Takei is a good one. Also “Nimoy”, “Shatner”. And (changing genre slightly) there should be a “Hamill”, a “Fisher” etc

I was blown away He was pretty pleased about having an asteroid named after him too.

So what? My sister had a whole STAR named after me last year!
But if Sulu is happy over having a little piece of a blown up planet, then good for him. Congrats, George Takeaguy.

Seriously, I think he is publicly gay, so it should fit right?

“Heavenly body” “It came” “I was blown away” -——
Hmmm- appropriate for a gay guy, I suppose.

I didn’t know Sulu was of the pederast persuasion.

To: anymouse
Yes, Captain. We have entered standard orbit over Planet Poofter...
