Resonant Constellation

Today I read an article about the new ISS module being sent up by NASA. So far, it is called “Node 3.” Not too inspiring, huh? Especially since it looks really cool (view pictures here: Help NASA name Node 3! ). So NASA decided to hold a public contest for people to vote on the name. Here are the suggested entries:
Earthrise
Legacy
Venture
Serenity
True geeks will spring to one IMMEDIATELY: Serenity. Perhaps the inside of the so-called “Cupola” looks kind of like 10-Forward from the Enterprise, but I must say, having an actual spacecraft “Serenity” outranks the Enterprise reference (there’s already an Enterprise, after all). This is suitably cool enough that I encourage everybody reading this to follow my link and vote for Serenity (which the site says is currently winning 83% to 7%, 6%, and 5%. This adds up to 101%. At least they’re not screwing up meters and feet anymore…)
