Antarctic Habitat Name Announced

NASA and Challenger Center Announce Name of Antarctic Habitat

"NASA and the Challenger Center for Space Science Education have selected the winner of the Antarctic habitat naming contest. The name "Resolution" took top honors in the "Name that Habitat" competition. The winning name was submitted by 9th grade students at Holy Cross High School in Delran, N.J. and was under the command of Captain James Cook. Holy Cross students said the new habitat represents an advance in technology, much as Cook's ship did. The students also pointed out that the word "resolution" aptly describes America's intent to explore space."

That's funny. The name reminds of this other cold weather outpost: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolute,_Nunavut

Editor's note: Ah, Resolute Bay. I have spent a fair amount of time there on my way to/from Devon island - see http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=9682
