Voted! And I agree that the astronauts all know Firefly and wold enjoy flying in Serenity, even if it is only orbiting and not travelling out into the black!

They actually have the DVDs up there and watch them. :) Really! One of the astronauts took them up there!

From Wikipedia: NASA Browncoat Astronaut Steven Swanson[69] took the Firefly and Serenity DVDs with him on Space Shuttle Atlantis' STS-117 mission, which lifted off on Friday June 8, 2007. The DVDs will permanently reside on the International Space Station as a form of entertainment for the station's crews.

Hmmmm... He'd look pretty gorram good in a browncoat.

It's a shame we're phasing away from space shuttles. How shiny would it be to vote for the next shuttle to be named Serenity?

Well there's a no-brainer if I ever saw one. I have to admit though, Endor did make me chuckle.

I sent the url for the nasa site to my brother, sister, sister in law and a few other friends asking them to please visit there and vote. I mentioned that I was rooting for Serenity but told them all votes were welcome.

we're losing ground, damnit! Admittedly, we still have 85 percent, but we need to hold it! Everyone vote!

Voted at home and at work. I think you can vote once every day.
