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" after the physicist
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.
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
