NASA Walks All Over C.O.L.B.E.R.T.

Posted Apr 15th 2009 4:10PM by TMZ Staff

You won't find this fitness machine at your local Gold's Gym -- it's the insanely high-tech NASA treadmill that was just named after Stephen Colbert.

The C.O.L.B.E.R.T. Treadmill -- which stands for Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill -- will be sent to the International Space Station in August.

NASA backed off of their offer to name a wing on the international space station after Colbert after he won their online poll, but this is one helluva consolation prize.

6. Living in the NASA area they should have stuck to Colbert. Sorry guys he got you on the name contest. But then to go and pick the EIGHT favorite not the 2nd favorite. Dang, NASA you named it what you wanted to begin with anyway.

7. If I were Colbert I'd tell NASA to shove it and sue them. It's the American way!
