As Firefly fans are spread hither and yon on the thread, thought I'd post this here:
Help NASA name Node 3
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.
The choices are:
Earthrise
Legacy
Venture
SERENITY
Well, Serenity was at 96% a moment ago.

Contributed my vote. Now I have an urge to hit the library and use every computer there to vote some more.
That vote has been totally slashdotted...not that I didn't do my part.
Slashdotted, sure, but look at the alternatives. I mean, venture? Really? Ventures aren't even necessarily particularly good or successful, they're just...ventures.

My only question was "Hank or Dean? Or Rusty?"
I came close to voting for Tranquility.
I posted it on Whedonesque. If anybody missed it, 18 months ago somebody took up Firefly on DVD.
There's some great photos of the DVDs floating around the station.
In somewhat amusing news, I have received yet another congratulations/how're things on Dollhouse email.
I wonder if this will be like the thing where I kept getting asked in meetings about my time on The Inside.
wasn't there also that time you worked on Buffy?
