Apparently the name "Dizzy" was deemed unsuitable for consideration to name the new room in the International Space Station. NASA was concerned this name would put a negative spin on the mood of the room and the astronauts who are already challenged enough to remain upright (whichever direction that is in space). I suppose this is a fair and valid point; my stomach makes a half orbit just thinking about floating upside down and being asked to go retrieve something from the "Dizzy Room". I am a little upset though; I don't think a sheep has ever had the opportunity to travel into space, nor has there been nearly enough research done on zero gravity knitting and spinning. I think as long as it's alright with Stephen Colbert, the room can be named Colbert, but it should be turned into a space station yarn shop with Thursday night sit and knit. Details:

Here are a couple of free patterns from the Berroco web site:

Aw, poor Dizzy! Astronaut food isn't all that good, anyway. Maybe he can attend Space Camp in Florida, instead?
