Vote for Anne! - A Meeting of Minds

StevenB · Apr 23 2015, 03:23 PM

NASA are looking for names with which to name places on the worlds that will be mapped by the New Horizons spacecraft. One of the names on that list is Anne McCaffrey!! I just voted. The vote closes on Friday. Sorry for the last minute notice, but it was only just brought to my attention myself.

Done: Anne + Tintin!

D. M. Domini · Apr 23 2015, 07:47 PM

Voted.

I was a bit confused that she wasn't on the first page, but it's a 3 page poll thing, so if you don't see her on the first, choose some entries (shouldn't be hard to do!) and move to the next.

I chose Anne McCaffrey, but also Octavia Butler. Both should be remembered/honored for their work.

Spock · Apr 23 2015, 07:54 PM

Done.

Priscilla · Apr 23 2015, 08:00 PM

It seemed a bit confusing but I have also voted.

Allen · Apr 24 2015, 12:57 AM

Done and done.

***Hans*** · Apr 24 2015, 09:40 AM

Done! Oh, to be able to go to Ank Morpork...

mawra · Apr 24 2015, 09:50 AM

I couldn't find her. I will try again later.

Allen · Apr 24 2015, 10:31 AM

Maw, I found her toward the bottom of page 4.

GinnyStar · Apr 24 2015, 04:18 PM

I spotted that on Facebook via StevenB Pg 3 or 4, I think

There are four different votes: Fictional explorers and travellers, Fictional origins and destinations (why no Pern?!), Fictional vessels and then (finally) Fictional writers. Anne is in the last vote, but you have to step through the others to get to it.

You are supposed to be limited to one vote per day, but I discovered if you kill all the cookies stored on your PC it will let you vote again.

I guess Pern isn't in the vote because they are saving that name for when the GAIA spacecraft discovers a planet orbiting around Rukbat...
