'Colbert' Wins Space-Station Module Name Contest

NASA's online contest to name a new room at the international space station went awry. Comedian Stephen Colbert won.
...
NASA's mistake was allowing write-ins. Colbert urged viewers of his Comedy Central show, "The Colbert Report" to write in his name. And they complied, with 230,539 votes

Instead it will be named after a movie, and ship in the Firefly series. :ironic:

On one hand I love serenity. On the other, I don't think a simple module should be named after it.

Looks like it will be named neither, although they managed to work the name Colbert into an acronym for the station's treadmill.
