Help us to name another important addition to the station - Node 3 and its cupola!
Vote using the poll on the right.

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.

Space shuttle Endeavour will deliver the Node 3 components during the STS-130 mission targeted for December 2009. Once the cupola is attached to one of the module?s six ports, it will offer astronauts a spectacular view of both their home planet and their home in space. The cupola?s six rectangular windows and one circular window overhead will show a panoramic view that will be unrivaled by any other spacecraft ever flown. Aside from providing a perfect location to observe and photograph the Earth, the cupola also will contain a robotics workstation, where astronauts will be able to control the station?s giant robotic arm.

I choose Serenity and it had the highest result so far but voting hasn't finished yet
 
Ugly Cyl

Cyluglynder

I put in my own vote for Cyluglynder.
 
I'm sure all the Whedonites are voting Serenity.
 
I... remember that... vaguely...

OH GOD FELIX THE CAT? D:
 
^lololololol


Serenity should be a name for a manned probe or something, not a damned node.
 
I sense the involvement of Browncoats.

I nominated "Sweet and Full of Grace".
 
NASA will probably have to look at the results and have to veto Mudkip or Desu thus giving the Browncoats the lead with Serenity.
 
I voted The Colbert and I hope he cashes in on this oppurtunity.
 
Bumped.

Colbert has officially declared this a Colbert Nation project. Heroes, get to work.
 
I'd rather the Browncoats won.

Me too actually, the Browncoats have some prominent Space Scientists and Astronauts that have come out publicly to praise Firefly - plus the name is nice and it suits an ISS Node.
 
LOL @ Colbert! It would be a blessing if it won
 
Voted Colbert when he asked me to last night.
