You ain't heard nothing yet. They are awarding Neil Armstrong sole ownership of the entire remaing shuttle fleet! The only stipulations are that he can't use them, sell them, visit them, take photos of them, or mention his ownership in public or in private. But they are his! (Rumor is that Buzz Aldrin will get the Andromeda galaxy). Really, isn't awarding something to someone but without actually letting them have it just some silly trumped up term for naming it after them? Maybe the International Star Regestry http://www.starregistry.com/ people can start an International Fragment of Apollo Lunar Samples regestry-- for only $54 plus shipping you, too, can have a chunk of the Moon that will remain in a vault somewhere named after you!
