Spacesim has many objects that are given names for sentimentality and notability. Names are practical for computers, but for other objects they are simply a matter of fun.
Examples
| Bob and Doug (Deceased) | A set of small speakers used at work sessions to play music. Named after the Canadian sketch comics Bob and Doug McKenzie. Currently non-functional |
|---|---|
| Betty and Veronica | A set of 4-foot speakers formerly used to amplify CAPCOM transmissions in Mission Control, named after the comics characters |
| Planck | A plank of 2x4 wood, affectionately known as "Planck the Plank" |
| Doyle | A large television in Mission Control used to monitor a Control Room camera. During Mission Genesis 2009, Doyle was used to watch the horror movie Cloverfield |
| Pumpkin | A small television in the Control Room used to view Mission Control. It is named Pumpkin because it only displays in orange-tinged grayscale. It formerly lived in the Simulator Loft and in the Hawking II's Mission Control. |
| MC Hammer | A hammer that resides in Mission Control eponymous to Brian Foo's nickname, itself a joke referencing rapper MC Hammer |
| Harold (Deceased) | A power supply with an abnormally large, red power switch that was jury-rigged to a makeshift simulator switch box meant to turn off lights in sections of the Habitat. Harold was part of the box of objects left on comet Kenny-Kumar during Genesis 2009. |
| Kelvin and Amundsen | The fridge and freezer within, respectively. Named after the physicist and the arctic explorer |
