NASA is holding a competition to name the new module for the ISS.

Apparently, some fan groups have suggested names - Stephen Colbert wanted his fans to vote for "Colbert" as a name, for instance. However, one of the NASA-suggested names is "Serenity", and the Browncoats have turned out in force - Serenity has an absolute majority of votes.

Go here (http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/name_ISS/index.html) to vote.

Go here (http://www.hulu.com/firefly) to watch Firefly, if you haven't seen it (warning: link won't work outside US).

Oh dear god. Why don't we just name it, "Joss Whedon's Throbbing Space Cock?" I can't wait until China kicks our nerdy, fanboy asses.

Was that that shitty movie with the spacey chick and the rough and grizzled captain with a heart of gold?

I really didn't like that movie. Especially the dialogue.

I also like, "Joss Whedon, the Hymen Slayer!" but it doesn't have the same sort of space ring.

Yeah, whatever. It is impossible to believe that someone is an unstoppable death dealing machine when they can't go an entire month without being kidnapped, abducted, imprisoned, experimented upon or held hostage.

Are you trying to imply that Firefly was generic? Well, I assure you it was not. There were a number of innovations that had never been seen before. For instance, the government was evil and the monsters were actually humans.
