The team that just flew a spacecraft past Pluto has proposed a set of names for features on the large moon Charon that includes characters from science fiction. One of the proposed crater names is Uhura! Have you heard about this and how do you feel having something 3 billion miles away named after you?

Can this scenario fall under existing lemon laws? You buy a vehicle with an expectation that certain safety equipment is standard, only to find out it is not the hard way. We bought a brand new Kia Rio. Had a flat tire and went to get the spare out of the trunk - no spare! Instead, there was a can of Fix-a-Flat and a battery-operated pump. Contacted Kia - their assumption is that a) every flat can be fixed this way (no sidewall ruptures) and/or b) everyone has cell phones and will always have cell phone coverage, so can call for help. We love to travel on backroads in remote regions and this could have been a serious safety issue. Happy ending - they gave us a spare kit after we complained.
