Odd this won any kind of award. The nonsense mythology made it one of NASA's worst videos of late in my opinion, but I guess that appeals to the non-science type unfortunately.
If you don't like things named after mythology, then space is perhaps not the place for you.
I don't care them naming things after things. Things need a name and mythology is a great dictionary of a random assortment of unique words. However the names mean nothing in regards to the science. They're just mnemonics. Explaining the mythology in a science video is completely irrelevant.
Good luck trying to leave it... ;-)
I don't know if I would call the SIGGRAPH audience the non-science type :D
Also this is not an award but a showcase of short videos which are in some measure remarkable from the computer graphics or art perspective.
