Kurya,

Thank you so much for putting this on Whedonesque!

I just think this is so shiny and I just want everyone to know!

I've loved the idea of going to the stars since I was very young. I love that they have our old battle scarred shuttle back up and running!
And the fact that for one morning the astronauts heard those beautiful words from our Captain.. makes me so proud.

"You hold. Hold 'til I get back." Mal

I'm not registered with Whedonesque soo Xie xie for followmal for posting it!

i think a good way to draw attention to it is to write and request a copy of it

Here is NASA's main public e-mail and all the information needed concerning the little snippet.

I suggest writing a brief e-mail to them showing your excitement for the firefly qoute getting used etc. Make it positive and be sure to drop the word Firefly or Serenity or both!

I just can't help but wonder how many Browncoats are on the NASA team. Someone had to select that quote, and then someone had to aprove it, and then someone etc... Just how many Browncoats are there at NASA?

You can't stop the signal.

NASA TV is available on DirecTV, channel 376. Had it on the entire week after the successful launch. Watched most of the EVAs including the repair experiments. Much higher quality than the web site feeds.

Regarding the original thread, I had no doubt there were Browncoats in their ranks. Remember, many of them ARE Texans. They are also dreamers of the future that could be as most of the key personnel that work (or contract) for NASA can, no doubt, make more money in the private sector. They obviously love what they are doing.

I wonder when they'll use the theme song from Firefly for the crew wakeup song?

Uh, the quotation is wrong!
Isn't it "keens" not "keels"?

It is. "Keens," that is, the gist being that you'll know something is wrong before she tells you about it.

Well, in regards to how many browncoats in NASA, here is what my NASA browncoat source said,

" Browncoat Flight Controllers working both station and shuttle were able to convince the ISS Planning Flight Director, as recent convert to Firefly, that the quote would be a great inspiration to the crew as the International Space Station finally returns to three fulltime crew members with the addition of Flight Engineer Thomas Reiter who arrived aboard Space Shuttle Discovery."

Also, at one of the Early Serenity Screenings NASA folks took up 2 rows in the theater in Houston

ok even better idea of the browncoat numbers in NASA,

my browncoat NASA buddy just posted this over on serenitymovie.org:

"oh there are a bunch of us know. when show aired there was just myself and another guy in our group of 15 flgiht controllers. But since the DVD's came out we have converted all but one in our group, plus a couple of division chiefs, flight directors and others. we keep spreading the word. after all my discussions with our PAO during the shift about if anyone called the PAO newsdesk requesting the document and such she is now going to check out the show and movie. another flight controller who has had one of my dvd loaner sets for months now finally started watching them before he came into shift the other day. he is liking it and has been asking questions the past few nights as we sit in Mission Control."

oh and heads up looks like our lil show may get sent on a iss mission :) its not a go yet, so do not get your hopes up buut... :) still shiny
