Damn Purplebelly!

Man Colbert was on the Today Show this morning and mentioned this. I have a feeling it won't be Serenity.

Its still Serenity by a large margin

But see that doesn't make any sense because the percentage is only broken down for those 4 and not all of the write ins. Colbert claims a ridiculous amount of people wrote him in. Whether it is true or not I am not sure but it does not show what the percentage is with the write ins.

Last I heard Colbert had like 15,000 more than Serenity, but Nasa hasn't said whether they'll even consider the write-ins yet.

Supposedly they said they would. Atleast that is what Colbert told them on the Today Show. He said NASA would name it Colbert if it won.

Damn Colbert and the power of the "Colbert Bump"!!!

Oh well, funny to me that a NASA vehicle would be named after him Not as cool as Serenity, but still funny.

Nope. Sorry, Serenity would be too hipocritical a name for the States. Maybe for Sweden......

 

[darthviper107]

The space station is international

 

[sputnik]

The plug is for NASA-correct me if I'm wrong,but isn't that an American Space Agency(Association)?

Colbert FTW

There's nothing serene about the entire human race, but the show was awesome.

Colbert won! Now it's up to NASA to actually use it.

I really hope that don't use "Colbert."

My hat goes off to the Colbert Nation, but this is a little much. Knowing why so many people voted for "Colbert" is a little sad, but nonetheless fair is fair. I don't agree with the winning name, but ultimately it's NASA's decision.

Colbert is such a raging ****** Hats off to him for the victory... but Serenity is still the more fitting name... especially given the names of the other Rooms:

Other rooms on the space station are named Unity, Harmony and Destiny.

Somehow Colbert would stick out a bit... they should have gone for Truthiness

Well said.

Now I wish that I had taken the time to vote for Serenity. I hope NASA goes with Serenity in the end.

Colbert does this all the time - he got a bridge in Poland named after him the same way. Personally I don't care if they go with Colbert or Serenity for the node. It's not like it's the first space station or the first shuttle or anything terribly special.

Truthiness would have been awesome!

I think it's interesting that the top two winners are both TV show related.
