Nasa wants help naming new station

[tylerhawk]

I suggest Metal Gear, as most of us are huge fans of the metal gear series and if not definitely the parodies. http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/name_I SS/index.html

Spread the word!!

[joabos]

I vote for Metal Gear too, just to see the controversy and the news articles about it afterwards.

[DasUberCow]

Nice... You also made a thread on Gametrailers. Webwide spammer!

[hansari]

Are there any conditions or narrow parameters for the naming?

cause if we're sooo at liberty, then may I suggest "Bukake express"

[hansari]

Node 1= Unity

Node 2= Harmony

Node3 = Oxymoron

4chan is naming one of the nodes battletoad

I voted Serenity. I mean, it's obviously not intended as a Firefly reference, but it's close enough.

The Firefly reference was the reason I voted Serenity :]

[Pink-Ninja]

It has to be named Red Dwarf.

Oh shit, reference get! Ha, I didn't think of naming it that. Boy, Red Dwarf was awesome, it damn well deserves a ISS node named after it.

[Igotaname13]

everyone is picking serenity its a good name

I pix't it :D

[simple-but-sandy]

I voted for metal gear.

On the grounds that I'm too unoriginal to think of anything better.

It is actually quite a good name for a station module...

[Fezz]

I voted for "Cocks."

Anyone? Anyone?

[Jackho]

i think Constantine is a good name

[Toukeman]

Serenity is leading in the polls by over 80%, but I voted for Earthrise. Earthrise just sounds cool.

[solardave]

I can't believe Vista is one of the the top ten suggestions.

Anywho, Serenity vote.

[pyromaniac616]

Call it... The Newgroundling. Intresting name.

[EgoistXIV]

I voted Eternity. Could have been Tranquility but there's the sea of tranquility in the moon already...

[mwmike]

I've gone with serenity, though when I think about it a little more I think that Legacy would have made a better name, so I hope that that catches up at some stage; though it's got a very low chance, seeing as Serenity has already got eighty percent of the votes.

[Reed]

im voting for priestfucker

[Elios]

I vote...

Steven.

[Le-Froid]

Vote battletoads

That would be banned on the news then xD

Vote Blade, obscure words are best.

[GayForGirls]

WHAT BULLSHIT IS THIS?! I WANT SOME RECOGNITION!

[manonthemoon516]

I voted for Serenity, although Legacy and Horizon sound like good names too.

What's with you guys picking Serenity?? Its way too typical with the theme they got going...

Unity, Harmony, Serenity...

booo.... lets shake things up people!! When an astronaut is floating by the thing, I want him to get his mindblown!

"Unity....Harmony...Thundercats?? huh??"

[Podburrys]

I voted Shagohod. Metal Gear ftw.

I second this!

[GenericName54]

I say Newground. Sounds like something that would be appropriate and there'll be something in space called Newground. And half the suggestions will be rejected anyway because of this bit on the rules:

NASA will take into consideration the results of the voting. However, the results are not binding on NASA and NASA reserves the right to ultimately select a name in accordance with the best interests of the agency, its needs, and other considerations. Such name may not necessarily be one which is on the list of voted-on candidate names. NASA's decision shall be deemed final.

So yeah, Metal Gear and Battletoads aren't quite gonna make it.
