Sneaky Geeky: Trek Nerds Succeed in Bid to Get Pluto's 3rd Moon Named "Vulcan"
The naming agency insisted that, per protocol, the moon be named something that had something to do with Pluto.
Well, Vulcan was Pluto's son, so the Trekkies get a win. Even though they're totally not pushing "Vulcan" just because it's the name of Pluto's son.
They know why. We all know why.
Vulcan loopholes.
The other moon will be named Cerberus. There probably is a Star Trek thingamabob named Cerberus too.
