This image provided by NASA shows the patch for the treadmill used for exercising in space named after Colbert. NASA announced Tuesday April 14, 2009 that it won't name a room in the international space station after the comedian. Instead, it has named a treadmill after him. NASA, itself an acronym (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), often names things so they spell out something fun. And that's what they did with the Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill (COLBERT).
