Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand

February 20th, 2009

“Take my love. Take my land. Take me where I cannot stand.
Don’t forget, I’m still free. You can’t take the sky from me.
Take me out, into the black. Tell ‘em I ain’t coming back.
Burn the land and boil the sea. You can’t take the sky from me.”

NASA has a poll up to name the new ISS node, and Serenity is one of the options.

You know what to do. :D

Totally ganked from rightc0ast who posted in food_pill

But with competition like Earthrise1, Legacy, and Venture, I doubt they expected any result BUT Serenity.

And those top suggestions? Who the hell suggested Endor? I thought the Ewoks were universally reviled — possibly surpassed only by Jar Jar Binks?

We can certainly do better. Here are a few more worthy suggestions:

  1. Caprica
  2. Hoth
  3. Thedus (points if you know where this one comes from without looking it up)
  4. Kobol
  5. Federation Starbase 12187

Gimme your best. :)


1: Okay, I lied. Earthrise is a pretty cool name. I’m totally stealing it for the next time I need to name a spaceship.
