Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for January 28, 2019

Star-bucks! Who could have a better name for Mel’s business?

Not a new idea. Ever hear of the “Star Registry”? Use to hear it advertised on radio about 10-12 years ago. Of course, a complete and utter fraud.

Starbucks? Does this mean that there will be a solar system with only one Starbucks?

“Look! There’s the Arby’s Asteroid, the Sonic Supernova, and the Panera White and Red dwarves!”

Stop at the next Subway Solar System for a steak sub sandwich.

May I rename the sun? I hope to have its new name in place by next Elvisday.

…somewhere in the Ford Galaxy (with apologies to Mel Brooks).

The Scotland Trust has several estates where you can buy a square foot of land. That makes you a Scottish Laird, AKA, a Landowner. You get a certificate and map coordinates, so you can visit your land/see it on a map. You Cannot do any sort of building on your “square acreage”, but, your money helps preserve and take care of heritage, historic buildings and grounds. It’s real, not a scam…

What are the names of the planets in the Starbuck’s system? Latte? Expresso? Moche Grande? Would that be a gas giant?

They will take me seriously, when I open Larry’s hotel and restaurant, on Mars’s Elysium Planitia. Yes they will!!!

Starbucks and Red Robin, two Seattle-based businesses. How long before we see Amazon women on the moon?

Better yet. Name planets after your body parts.

Anyone is free to name any star any thing. Nobody may pay attention, but that’s a separate issue.

“Next to” on cosmic scales could be several light years… it would really suck if you missed your turn and had to backtrack!

I prefer Larry Niven’s universe, where they named features after the first thing that was said upon encountering them.

So they have a planet named “We Made It”, and a geographical feature named “Mt. Lookatthat!”

I believe in Hollywood the “Star Registry” has been replaced by the “Star Mugshot”…
