mulletst0rm Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 They may have taken the top two spots from us, but what they can't take away is Countdown's very real connection to the Shuttle program and its homage to the wonders of human ingenuity, exploration, and discovery. The trekkies stole this one fair and square. An organized mass complaint campaign would just make us a bunch of whiny fanboys. Let them have their two single wake-up calls on two separate multiple day missions--we've still got Countdown. P.S. It's not too late for Rush to submit a song for the original composition portion of the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckiller Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Complete with a cheesy Jordan Rudess keyboard solo that completely ruins the flow of the song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckiller, you are just as bad as all these clueless music critics who think that Rush still does 20 min sci-fi epics. Don't forget that as far as most people are concerned, being a Rush fan makes you just as big a geek-spaz-dork-D&D playing, living in your parent's basement "permavirign" nerd as any Trekkie!

You know, jabs at their fanbase for busting on ours In most cases, probably. But some have been downright hateful - as if they're very reason for being is suddenly in jeopardy or some such. (In fairness, not all of us have played "nice" either). Kinda interesting, as there are several folks who are hardcore fans of BOTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigershark2112 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Yeah, it's funny people like both. I figured if you're a Rush fan then you would actually have GOOD taste in arts and entertainment. Star Trek is just....its sooo boring!! But diff'rent strokes, so it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I'm sure they're going to do something. Hopefully they've got a backup of the results before everyone went crazy, and they restore that and limit voting, instead of deleting the songs. Either way, no real point in voting now until we hear something. Looks like Star Trek hasn't stopped going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaTurtle Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 If the top 3 get disqualified, we should start voting for Star Wars and try to get it up to second. But if NASA doesn't do anything, I probably won't vote anymore, since there's really no point. I see the Big Head Todd people are still at it, though.

Jag2112 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 <BUMP> Voting has really slowed down of late for all of the top entries in the NASA list. Now's the chance for Rush to gain some ground. Let's go out and vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
