"Entropy"
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | February 26, 2009 at 03:47 PM
I sent in "Booger"
Posted by: Siouxie | February 26, 2009 at 03:56 PM
Interesting .... the voting and name proposing mechanism is now gone from the site....
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | February 26, 2009 at 03:57 PM
i voted for "the pee-pee inn" (since they drink own pee onboard that thing) (shudder)
Posted by: mudstuffin | February 26, 2009 at 03:59 PM
It is time for this community to come together and hijack this Node.
We must choose one, and elect it. Individually, we are funny, and entertain the intern reading the suggestions. Together, we actually name Node 3.
Posted by: gfunksizzle | February 26, 2009 at 04:00 PM
oops...
Posted by: Siouxie | February 26, 2009 at 04:00 PM
heh! we broke the NASA poll.
Posted by: Siouxie | February 26, 2009 at 04:01 PM
The Trekkies (of which I am one) have voted. 'Enterprise' is on the most suggested list.
My suggestion was Thunderdome.
Posted by: Will | February 26, 2009 at 04:02 PM
OK Will. "Enterprise" was my second choice ;-P
Posted by: Siouxie | February 26, 2009 at 04:04 PM
"Dave Barry Lift Station 16 Annex"
If the name is good enough for the fine people of North Dakota, it's good enough for space.
Posted by: Not My Usual Alias | February 26, 2009 at 04:05 PM
It's back. I wrote in 'Montpelier.'
Maybe we should vote for 'No 3.' It could mean 'node 3,' or '#3,' or 'there is no 3.'
Or maybe we could chatter mindlessly about it for a while. Whatever works.

L'il Johnny, though it appears to me those Firefly fans have this election in the bag.
Posted by: Elon Weintraub | February 26, 2009 at 04:09 PM
I demand organization, on par with the poetry.com hijacking. Dave/judi, I think we need either a poll here to decide what to name the node, or an executive decision.
We will be your loyal followers.

"Bubba"
Posted by: pogo | February 26, 2009 at 04:10 PM
Node 3: "Ebony"
Node 4: "Ivory"
Hey, they've got to scan and rhyme, right?
Posted by: Allen at Division | February 26, 2009 at 04:12 PM
so node #3 is for number#1 only?
Posted by: insomniac | February 26, 2009 at 04:13 PM
"Hey, babe, can I connect my module with your cupola?"
"Nice refrigerator-sized rack!"
Posted by: Allen at Division | February 26, 2009 at 04:15 PM
Had the poll been working or even visible on the website, I would have voted for "elephant scope."
Posted by: Cheesewiz | February 26, 2009 at 04:15 PM
it appears to me those Firefly fans have this election in the bag.
You betcha.
Posted by: cowhand214 | February 26, 2009 at 04:18 PM
I suggested Moonshine...With the downturning economy we will inevitably turn to backyard brews just to survive. Moonshine represents our past and our future. Except for the occasional lead poisoning from too much moonshine, I see no downsides.
Posted by: Pannus | February 26, 2009 at 04:21 PM
I can name that cupola in three nodes.
Posted by: SW | February 26, 2009 at 04:24 PM
Cupola white chicks sittin' around talkin'
Posted by: SW | February 26, 2009 at 04:25 PM
I selected groucho.
Posted by: queensbee | February 26, 2009 at 04:32 PM
Pannus - even the materials to build stills may be in short supply. I always preferred mine condensed through a Chevy radiator, but there were Ford guys and Dodge guys.
Posted by: pogo | February 26, 2009 at 04:33 PM
Ya know we could tried for Freemont J Crapweasel, famous poet.
Posted by: pogo | February 26, 2009 at 04:39 PM
I voted for "Rhumba Room".
Posted by: Telecomdropout | February 26, 2009 at 04:44 PM
I voted for 'Suggest your own".I thought it had a nice ring to it.Did I win again?
Posted by: ron | February 26, 2009 at 04:44 PM
Pogo,
My neighbor asked why his radiator kept dripping. I thought the question was a euphemism for his prostate but maybe he meant his still.
Posted by: Pannus | February 26, 2009 at 04:46 PM
I dub it, the Francis Ford cupola.
Posted by: KJP | February 26, 2009 at 04:47 PM
Being a classy guy I submitted "Booger", but it failed to make the top ten list.
Posted by: Grant | February 26, 2009 at 04:52 PM
Arrrr...this is fun...I seconded Booger. woof. (runs off to bite something)
Posted by: whiteschnauzer | February 26, 2009 at 04:52 PM
I submitted an anagram for "Node Three": "Hetero Den"
Posted by: Jeff Tompkins | February 26, 2009 at 04:57 PM
Annie, I too, voted for Montpelier.
Again.
Posted by: NotSherly | February 26, 2009 at 05:02 PM
NASA is wondering where the influx of juvenile name suggestions came from....ssshhhhhh....
Posted by: Margaritaville | February 26, 2009 at 05:04 PM
M'ville ... where? I din't see any juvenile suggestions ...
Posted by: O the U(manity) | February 26, 2009 at 05:17 PM
Heh. Let's all send in "Xenu".
Posted by: Mr Death | February 26, 2009 at 05:37 PM
I submitted Dave Barry.
In return I am hoping for a ride in Air Force 1 when Dave is elected President.
Posted by: Pannus | February 26, 2009 at 05:41 PM
LeVar
Posted by: Merri Lee | February 26, 2009 at 05:45 PM
I notice that NASA is going with optimistic names like Tranquility, Serenity and Unity. Why not be more realistic and call it Flaming Ball of Death, which is what it will be if anything goes wrong. Or how about Lowest Bidder Parts.
Posted by: SharonCville | February 26, 2009 at 06:05 PM
Am I the only one who supported The Blog by voting for Buddy?
Posted by: marfie | February 26, 2009 at 06:29 PM
I suggested Stanley Kubrick as he is my all time favorite film maker.
Posted by: Wishing for a Column | February 26, 2009 at 07:28 PM
Make that 3 votes for Buddy!!
Posted by: Major Nuise | February 26, 2009 at 07:42 PM
Buddy's got my vote...two syllables... quick and easy. ... Serenity sounds like a model name from the Acme Casket Company of Swellwood, Mississippi
Posted by: PhilinTexas | February 26, 2009 at 08:49 PM
I voted Jack Bauer.
Posted by: vanityball | February 26, 2009 at 09:25 PM
Shecky. Kinda looks loke a Shecky.
Posted by: WayneHere | February 26, 2009 at 09:40 PM
I vote for syncretism: Capt. Habbo Hammertime "Dave" Milliway's Lupus-Free Sanitary Flying Dollhouse Weewee Booger Liftstation Thighmastershot Portal For Hope And Change And Thetan-Clearing ShamWow! In Space.
Or Wienermobile, for short.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | February 26, 2009 at 09:42 PM
Or, Hank The Angry Drunken Dwarf.
Posted by: danceswithvowels | February 26, 2009 at 09:43 PM
I submitted an anagram for "Node Three": "Hetero Den"
Nice, Jeff. Also ...
The Red One
Node Three And Its Cupola =

Woof....MelloYello???? Anybody? No? (Goes off to pee on the fence)
Posted by: Whiteschnauzer | February 26, 2009 at 10:28 PM
I went with Serenity. Doug came in a close second.
Posted by: Mitch | February 26, 2009 at 11:18 PM
I also suggest Dave Barry. Then I cleared out my Internet cache and reset my cookies and voted a second time. The second time I submitted "Ramparts".
Posted by: Schadeboy | February 27, 2009 at 12:09 AM
ECLSS? OGS? ARS? WRS?
..........WTF?
Posted by: Egbert Souse' | February 27, 2009 at 12:28 AM
Serenity?
Depends.
