There's a country that knows how to name space stations

The Great Beyond: ‘Heavenly Palace’ in space to launch next year
China has announced it will launch the first module of its space station next year.

The unmanned ‘Heavenly Palace’ module will be transformed into a permanent taikonaut residence and space lab within two years of the launch, says Qi Faren, a member of the influential National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.

How very Chinese.

It's a well named space station all right. But the committee name could do with a little work.
