Help us to name another important addition to the station - Node 3 and its cupola!

Voting will be open until March 20th, 2009. NASA will announce the winning name in April 2009.

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' has 86% of the votes!
Pass it on and vote for Serenity!

Down to 83% for the first time in a while... Of course, most of the suggested names seem to be spam ones now. The Trekkies certainly didn't get mobilized seeing as how Enterprise got pushed off the top 10, but then again, I'm almost ok with spammers getting a toilet node named for them... =\ I still voted Serenity though.

"...They sometimes call themselves Browncoats (a show reference) and make Trekkies look like under-acheivers.

...The news about Nasa holding a naming vote seems to have got around the internet faster than naked pictures of Vannesa Hudgens. The name Serenity was always going to be on the list - it has a lot of fans in Nasa, and DVDs for the series and film are already on the space station. "

I am NOT convinced that Serenity is leading the poll, despite the 80%+ share (for now) amoungst the four button names (non write-ins). It would not surprise me if all of the top ten write-ins have more votes than Serenity, maybe even Enterprise and some others that have fallen off the top ten list as some of the silly names gain momentum.

The number of votes has gone up very rapidly, but Serenity has only lost ground and the top ten alternate names have been changing often. That tells me that many of the write-ins have many more votes than Serenity. The fact that Serenity has been falling against the other three vote button names makes me think us Browncoats are being overconfident and/or lazy.

Fortunely NASA does not intend to just accept the name with the highest votes, and many of the top ten alternates are just plain stupid.

They made us overconfident by the high %

We are outvoted at the moment by Colbert. Write in Serenity, daily, and spread the word. We need a lot of votes.
