This is excellent. Back in 2010, an out-of-character Stephen Colbert sat down with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson at Montclair Kimberly Academy to talk for 90 minutes about science, society and the universe. Yesterday, the Hayden Planetarium posted the interview on its website for all to watch. More »

This week, Stephen Colbert has finally gotten what he deserves: a piece of the International Space Station named after him. But it's not the module he had hoped for. It's a treadmill. And it's still in over a hundred pieces. More »

We admit it; we had thought that Stephen Colbert's vote-stealing win would be disallowed, but why else would NASA announce the name of their room on the international space station on his show? More »

It's quite clearly heading towards Hallowe'en judging by this week's new releases to comic book stores, which are suitably full of monsters, ghosts, things that go bump in the night... and Stephen Colbert. Quite how he fits in, we're leaving up to your imagination, but as always on Tuesdays at 9am, these are New Comics We Crave. More »
]]> http://io9.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5062428&view=rss&microfeed=true Now we know why Spider-Man was trying to be so funny in this week's Time Out New York - he was rehearsing to share the stage with Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert. The Colbert Report's host and star of his own comic, Stephen Colbert's Tek Jansen will be guest-starring in the next issue of Amazing Spider-Man, in an eight page story written by io9 favorite Mark Waid. Will he save the Marvel Universe... or doom it? Who knows? But one thing's for sure: such a guest appearance can only help his campaign to be President of the Marvel Universe's United States of America. [Marvel.com] More »

Click to viewIf you were watching the Colbert Report the other day, you would have seen the best and most sensible explanation so far for our whole financial donnybrook: alien financial advisors are leading us off a cliff on purpose. Stephen Colbert finally got through to his financial advisor Gorlock, whom he'd been name-dropping for a few days, and all was revealed. The alien scheme is sheer elegance in its simplicity - although luckily, I'm okay, because my financial advisor is Bibble. More »

Click to viewFor those who can't imagine a universe without Stephen Colbert, there's good news. The satirist's DNA is going to be preserved for future generations, and perhaps future civilizations. Video game designer and soon-to-be space tourist Richard Garriott is adding Colbert's genetic code to the Immortality Drive, the digital time capsule Garriott plans to take to the International Space Station to serve as an "offsite backup" for the human race. And should an alien civilization happen upon the archive and decide to clone those inside, Lord British has lined up a few other humans to keep Colbert company. More »

Stephen Colbert chats with David Levy, author of a new futurist-sexology-robotics book called Love and Sex with Robots, in this strange clip. The best part is Levy's laconic delivery, as he ponderously explains that people will have sex with robots "within five years" and fall in love with them "within the next 40 to 50 years." And Colbert actually raises an interesting ethical question: is it "forcing sex" if you program your loverbot to want to have sex with you whenever you want it? More »
