Oooh, I love MST3K!!  I'm a Canadian, so I don't get CC and had to 
discover it through syndication, but almost immediately joined the fan 
club.  This is the second mention of Kate that I've noticed.  On "Space 
Travellers," Joel and the bots give a list of inventions and discoveries 
that came about due to the space race (swirled yogurt - essential to 
space travel; the Thingmaker!; etc).  As they re-enter the theatre after 
commercials, they continue for a second and, sure enough, "...Kate 
Bush!..."  I didn't know we had so much to thank NASA for :-)
