NASA wants your opinion in naming the International Space Station’s Node 3

[Joan the Vampire Slayer]

And guess what? One of the options is SERENITY!

And you thought Joss only had an influence in the television and pop culture world!!!

Go vote!!! Currently, Serenity has 72%!

Help NASA Name Node 3!

This brings back memories of the first space shuttle when we had the huge write in campaign to name it "Enterprise." Sadly, our "Enterprise" never was allowed to be launched. Hopefully, we'll have better luck with "Serenity."

It would be so awesome if they went for Serenity 😀 It would surely bring a smile to every Whedon fan's face whenever reading news about some space stuff.

Colbert tops poll to name NASA space module - CNN.com

Aww, silly Colbert!

Serenity would be cool too, but I'm also a big Stephen fan so it'd be pretty funny for it to be named Colbert.

Aww, silly Colbert!

I saw him promoting that on his show and I thought, "Aww. Silly Colbert! Now we Browncoats won't get our spacecraft."

It's pretty tough to overcome the Colbert Bump.

Colbert won but NASA can still choose what ever name it wants.

NASA announces name for Space Module - It's not Serenity

Serenity didn't get chosen, nor did Colbert.

Just to warn people, the advertisement that popped up on that page stalled my computer for about five minutes.

The name they ended up going with was Tranquility. Either Colbert or Serenity would have been much better. But they are naming a treadmill after Colbert!
