A report on the Valve's official Portal blog shared a cheeky image over the weekend. It seems that an anonymous NASA technician is a fan of Apature Science testing inititives, as a panel of the Japanese HTV-3 craft that launched on Friday for a resupply mission to the International Space Station has been engraved with a character from Portal 2.

The Portal blog refers to the image as Wheatly, but we reckon it's supposed to be the simple-minded Space Core -- one of the other quirky little AI Cores that was amusingly voiced by Nolan North, and just wants to go to Spaaaaaaaaaaace!
