Albert Einstein. George Takei. Jerry Garcia.
All of those men and many others have had an asteroid named after them. And if William Lowell Putnam III, trustee of Lowell Observatory, has his way, another name will be added to that list: Trayvon Martin.
The retired broadcast executive, alpinist, author and Flagstaff resident believes that Martin has not received justice.

OK but only if that means that NASA seriously looks at means of defending us from asteroid strikes.

Call it burglary tool or asteroid delinquent?
It was a tragedy what happened to Trayvon, but there should not be a political agenda attached to this, more a focus on his parents and what they caused to happen to their child without proper parenting.

This is perfect! Trayvon is Obama’s long lost son, Obama wants NASA to “go to an asteroid” — it all fits.

"Naming a worthless rock after a worthless thug.Now that’s a keeper." That is a keeper indeed. . . .
