Awesome photo.

I can understand the names Norgay Montes and Hillary Montes, but Sputnik Planum? It’s our probe.

Sputnik Planum... Political correctness taken to its extreme, making our enemies feel good about themselves.

... but it's everbody's ... er, planet. I think that's the idea. Sputnik was embraced by the intelligentsia when it was launched, in the spirit of peace and internationalism, you know. I was just a kid, but I remember the whole Shtick.

And honestly, you had to be a good sport about it, even if you did grit your teeth.
