I don't know about the rest of you, but I sent them a message on their website to plead our case. Perhaps if more people do so, we can get SOMETHING out of the deal.

Mal: "Yeah"
Zoe: "So not running now"
Mal: "Not so much"

It sounds like Serenity got around 190,000 votes. Tranquility (the second provided option, right?) got around 35,000 votes. Hmmm.... Oh well, I hope I hope I hope they name a manned spacecraft Serenity a few years down the road!

I'm sure Serenity will be the name of something.. probably the next thing they do

It's fuzzy-minded liberal thinking like that that gets you eaten.

Yeah, my question exactly. They ignore the top SEVEN choices and go with the 8th one? I call Shenanigans!
I'm starting to suspect that the results of NASA's little "contest" were determined by the Electoral College...

I think I read that they hired the folks who counted ballots in the 2000 presidential campaign in Florida - to count these votes for NASA.

I heard it was a small group of surviving astro-chimps , who couldn't get hired as F*>< network execs because they're 'overqualified'...

I'm putting this one down in the "Fail Column".
Time to notify NASA of displeasure.

They got exactly what they wanted. They got some publicity for little cost. Really would it do anything to have it named Serenity? Most of us would put a little ticky mark on some chalk board in our minds and then move on never to think about it again. I agree it's lame that they ditched Serenity to be PC but whatever it's not really important in any way.
