Help NASA Name Node 3!
Thursday, February 26. 2009
I found this through the Bad Astronomy Blog:
"NASA wants your opinion in naming the International Space Station’s Node 3 – a connecting module and its cupola – before the two segments travel to space and are installed on the orbiting laboratory. The name should reflect the spirit of exploration and cooperation embodied by the space station, and follow in the tradition set by Node 1- Unity - and Node 2- Harmony."
So they've opened the polls to let people people decide what the name of the next node should be. The best part? The current frontrunner (by a comfortable margin) is Serenity! A few more votes won't hurt, though, so be sure to head over and cast your vote between now and March 20th, 2009. NASA will announce the winning name in April 2009.
