NASA Contest To Name ISS Module

Posted by samzenpus on from the name-that-space dept.

Solarch writes "NASA is holding a contest to name ISS Node 3. Being a Browncoat myself, I should hope that the choice of names would be obvious. As of the 7:30 PM EST on 2/25, the name Serenity has over 80% of the vote. From the site: 'Node 3 will connect to the port side of the Unity Node and will provide room for many of the station's life support systems, in the form of eight refrigerator-sized racks. After Node 3 is installed, the station's crew will transfer over many of the Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS) currently stored in various places around the station.'"

  1. I'm suprised "Freeside" and "Villa Straylight"... by RevWaldo · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm suprised "Freeside" and "Villa Straylight" haven't been mentioned. A few more suggestions:

    Hull Breach
    Auto Destruct
    Warning Extreme Hazard to Crew
    Watchtower
    Fortress of Very Little Solitude
    House of Pain
    House of Fun
    House of 1000 Corpses
    House of the Rising Sun
    Not That Node The Other Node No The OTHER Other Node.

    If they do name it Serenity (got my vote) they should paint the Serenity logo on the side :)
