Nasa allows the internet to name a Node.

Have a vote.

Any of you with true moral values will vote "Metal Gear", as have many internet users on various imageboards already.

Have fun.

Digg, 4chan and a few others are hitting it up with Battletoad.

Battletoad and Metal Gear are both millions of times better than the options they have. UGH... Serenity? Legacy? Sounds like the kind of name a little girl would name her toy pony.

Serenity is a nerd nod to Firefly I believe.

I went with Battletoad. Why are the other names so vapid and meaningless?!

Top 10 Suggestions
VISION
TRANQUILITY
VISTA
HORIZON
ETERNITY
HOPE
TRINITY
PEACE
ENTERPRISE
SYNERGY

I reckon they blocked all Battletoad suggestions... As well as Metal Gear... In fact anything that was mildly awesome.

Naming a node Vista almost guarantees it will crash.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with those sentiments.

They won't name it Metal Gear because they're afraid of Solid Snake.

I went with Battletoad already, but I do believe NASA has blocked it.

Doesn't it bother any of you to know that 4chan has become the voice of the internet?

No.

How many people do you think work at NASA who are at least slightly b-tarded?

More then you might think ;P

But ugh.... the default options.... at least pick another greek god or a famous cool sounding name such as Socrates. Not crap like ZOMG WE'RE NAMING IT TRANQUILITY THAT MEANS WE'RE LIKE TRANQUIL RITE? KEEP GIVING US MONEY BECAUSE WE NAME OUR SPACESHIPS WITH SUPERFICIAL NAMES.

Definitely. 4chan is the shit the internet wiped off of its ass and threw at the trash can but it missed and was forgotten about until it grew.

No. 4chan is anonymity. This is how the internet should be.

The thing I like best about 4chan is the constant child pornography that is posted there.

Especially daddy and his hand!

Despite my distaste for 4chan, I voted battletoad. All the others are just pretentious shit buckets.

I went with "Bioshock."

Hip, reminiscent of another awesome game, intriguingly ominous, and actually relevant to the functions of the node itself.

I swear; sometimes I think the genius just kind of flows into me through osmosis. :-?

[Edit]
Oh yeah, and "Sorry, Carou." :hug:
Hehe.

Metal Gear? Seriously? It's not even that great of a game. Lol @ "Vista". I wouldn't doubt it if Bill Gates had something to do with the vote calculation on that one. :chuckle:

I voted Desu already. That was a week or so ago when 4chan found out about this and was urging people to vote Desu.

I voted Icrecrown. I'm sure that's going to catch the sentiments of many WoW playing NASA employees.

kekekek.

4chan, like all things has a good and bad side.

Aside from the immaturity on /b/, its a fascinating and generally very funny site.

4chan gets a bad reputation from /b/. That is where the meme's, CP and other trash filters into. Stay out of /b/ and /v/, and the rest of the site is useful.

Anonymity gets rid of the social structures that form even on the internet, where they should not exist. True anonymity gives the freedom of ultimate expression.

I just don't get videogame culture.
But on the contrary, Battletoads is one game I've actually played.
If it were up to me, I wouldn't name a spacecraft after it though.

I agree that they will most likely block any submissions they don't like. Sadly.
