Narrator: When deep space exploration ramps up, it'll be the corporations that name everything, the IBM Stellar Sphere, the Microsoft Galaxy, Planet Starbucks.
Timmy: Y'all know me. You all know what I do for a living. Pat: Live off your parents spreading your liberal anti-capitalist dogma? Timmy: Exactly. This is exactly the situation I was born for.
