A month ago, NASA announced a contest to name Node 3 of the International Space Station. For a long time, the contest was dominated by "Serenity" (after the ship in the Joss Whedon series Firefly), but now it seems that "Colbert" may have been a popular enough write-in vote that Node 3 might be named after him (the final name is chosen by NASA, after all).
