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.
Televisions
| 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. Named after the writer |
|---|---|
| Glorfindel | An extremely large television in the Habitat used to monitor Mission Control and parts of the Habitat. Named after the fictional character |
| Rutherford | A small television in the Habitat used to monitor the Airlock and Hotlab using a handy switch made by Ben Paul. Named after the physicist |
| 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. |
| Jack-O-Lantern (Jack for short) | A small television in the Control Room accross from its twin, Pumpkin. Jack-O-Lantern is used to view the long house. It is named is Jack-O-Lantern because it looks exactly like Pumpkin, even mirroring its orange display settings. Jack-O-Lantern was found early 2010. |
Speakers
| 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 |
| Engine | A single very powerful speaker, used to blast engine noises throughout the habitat. Engine currently resides in the Engine Closet |
Other items
| Planck | A plank of 2x4 wood, affectionately known as "Planck the Plank" after the physicist |
|---|---|
| MC Hammer | A hammer that resides in Mission Control eponymous to Brian Foo's nickname, itself a joke referencing rapper MC Hammer |
| Harolde (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. Harolde was part of the box of objects left on comet Kenny-Kumar during Genesis 2009. From at least 2004-05 until 2006-07 Harolde supplied power to the MC Receiver, which allowed Mission Control to listen in on all radio chatter, excluding the secure CAPCOM. |
| Kelvin and Amundsen | The fridge and freezer within, respectively. Named after the physicist and the arctic explorer. |
| Thomson | A microwave, named after Thomson's Plum Pudding Model of the Atom, due to its ability to heat, among other things, plum pudding. |
