The Issue

With the recent possible discovery of a new planet, currently dubbed "Planet Nine", in honour of Douglas Adams, I would like to see this planet officially named Rupert, a reference to Adams's book series "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". This petition is purely an attempt to give a great man the recognition he deserves.
