Vote Serenity!!!!!
There's a movement afoot to name the new International Space Station module node 3 "Serenity" after the most brilliant television show evah!!!
www.nasa.gov/externalfla...S/index.html
"NASA wants your opinion in naming the International Space Station’s Node 3 – a connecting module and its cupola – before the two segments travel to space and are installed on the orbiting laboratory. The name should reflect the spirit of exploration and cooperation embodied by the space station, and follow in the tradition set by Node 1- Unity- and Node 2- Harmony."
Serenity would be PERFECT!!!!

Re: Serenity and the International Space Station
Fri, February 27, 2009 - 2:38 PMThat's funny! Compared to the 4% and 5% of the other choices looks like Serenity is in the bag. I wonder if NASA knows why it's so much more popular. -

Re: Serenity and the International Space Station
Fri, February 27, 2009 - 4:23 PMYeah, I'm sure there are one or two Firefly fans at NASA. :)
OT (but related in that it's about quirky scientist personalities): Does anyone in here watch Eleventh Hour? It's cool, because it's pure science mystery, and I really appreciate that, especially for all the crap that science got during the Bush administration. Anyway, on last night's episode, they had to do virus testing inside a high-tech research facility, but they didn't want to freak anyone out, so they told everyone it was mandatory drug testing. The owner/supervisor finds out why they were really there, and he says, "You mean it "wasn't" drug testing?? Half of my physicists think they're going to be out of a job tomorrow!" I laughed my ass off. :)

Re: Serenity and the International Space Station
Wed, March 4, 2009 - 10:28 PMThe name "Serenity" may be in trouble: Last night on The Colbert Report, Steven called on all viewers to go to the NASA link and suggest the name "Colbert." 24 hours later, it's already the #1 suggested other name. (It was previously Xenu.)
I did read someone's comment about this on Daily Kos, though: "Don't waste 'Serenity' on a node."
It's a reasonable point. -

Re: Serenity and the International Space Station
Mon, March 23, 2009 - 3:53 PMSFGATE says that "Colbert" won by 40,000 votes......although NASA "reserves he right to choose an appropriate name"... -

Re: Serenity and the International Space Station
Tue, March 24, 2009 - 11:42 AMI was just at the NASA site, & Serenity is the most by far : ) -

Re: Serenity and the International Space Station
Tue, March 24, 2009 - 4:49 PMSo it looks like they turned 'Colbert' into a suggestion? -
-
Re: Serenity and the International Space Station
Tue, March 24, 2009 - 5:54 PMColbert was a write in, Serenity was a NASA suggestion. -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Serenity and the International Space Station
Tue, March 24, 2009 - 7:09 PMRight, but it isn't showing in the final vote tally, as far as I can see. Just entered as suggestion.
