I wonder if we could start a campian to get it named "Serenity"? Unless that douchbag on "Comedy Central" wants it named after him.

Too Alliance-y a vehicle , in my estimation...No chance of ever getting Folk into space , and certainly not ordinary Folk , like our Firefly crew...

Could start to bug Bezos , or Branson , though , and see if they might name one of their private spacecraft in our behalf...

'...That secretive rocket work being bankrolled by billionaire Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com fame has shed some new light on its activities.

Blue Origin is developing New Shepard, a rocket-propelled vehicle that takes off and lands vertically and is designed to routinely fly multiple astronauts into suborbital space at competitive prices.

Flight tests of the suborbital craft have been staged at a private launch site in Texas.

Blue Origin is now noting that, in addition to providing the public with opportunities to experience spaceflight, New Shepard will also provide frequent opportunities for researchers to fly experiments into space and a microgravity environment.

This activity would be in addition to, not in place of, Blue Origin's long-standing plans for human-carrying commercial flights. The first opportunities for autonomous or remotely controlled experiments on unpiloted flights could be as early as 2011 and the first ones requiring accompanying research astronauts would be available as early as 2012.'

The video looks exactly like how I remember Sky Lab looked, back when I walked out my back door and saw it flying over head.

A steady white dot, flying across the sky....

Bones: "Don't 'rawr' her!"
Booth: "What? she'rawred' me first."
