In reply to riggs. Colbert has nothing to do with space. Serenity is a more suitable name. Just cause he told Americans to vote his name, they did it? Loyal followers? I think not, some people will do anything TV tells them.

what a bunch of sore losers. Colbert won. if that other name was more popular then it would have won. maybe nasa should have just done a better job spreading the news then colbert did. (btw he said it twice on his show, late night also) hilarious

I guarantee you that if the name serenity would have had the public platform that colbert did ( his t.v. show ) serenity would have won by a mile. Brown coats stand as one!

So because it got cancelled it was a “failed series.”
What constitutes failure I’mBIGsampson?
Not being popular? Poor ratings? So in that sense, failure is only opinion based on numbers and percentage.

Either way, I never watched the show, so fuck it who cares. Your opinion will always be correct.
touche, I’mBIGsampson.

In reply to Android Invasion. I also want to add this: why ask the public for a name if they are just going to throw out the winner and choose for themselves anyways.. seems kinda pointless to me.

Colbert FTW. I think since he won not only did he win but he crushed the would be winner so why shouldn’t they name it after him. Yeah keyword IF how many other names from any show were put up there… and then how many even made it close to his votes… think of it like this you enter your name in on a contest and just because they dont like your name they decide to hand what ever it is over to some dumbass named serenity.

The name with the most is only to be seen as a deciding factor. Not what they ultimately decide to name it. I’ve been watching the Colbert “repore” since day one. I get his humour and laugh constantly. That being said, “Colbert” is not a fitting name for this rocket. Just because the fanboys love and adore him, it must be. So what, he got the most votes? I guess if I had an ongoing show on COMEDY CENTRAL watched by millions on a weekly basis named Droid, I’d get a lot of votes to. Again, I love Steven Colbert from back in his Daily Show days, YES I AM REFERRING TO THE TIME “KILBY” WAS HOSTING, but give me a fucking break. The rules from NASA state that NASA will ultimately decide the name, and hopefully they will choose what’s fitting, not what’s popular.

I think it is a good idea for NASA to try to pull in a younger generation’s interest for exploration like Antonio said. And yes contests like this do shine light on what NASA is doing and maybe opens up little doors of interest in people’s hearts. But what it isnt going to do is win peoples support when they hold a contest and then back out of it because they dont like the name that won. I find that to be the problem here. Colbert is a funny mofo! I have to give it to him here…he won the vote!!! Now he should protest and throw a fit about the fact that his name may not even be given a chance because that is what NASA’s statement means (and I am following along his line of humor with that suggestion so dont get all crazy on me here). And by the way…I thought Firefly and Serenity ROCKED!!!

I know, as film fans, we hear the word “serenity” and automatically think of the movie. However, who’s to say that NASA didn’t just want to use the word simply because of its denotation and had no intention of connecting it to the TV show? As popular as the show is among film/TV fans, how many people REALLY remember the show/movie?

That being said, Colbert won, and I say that’s what they should name it!
