NASA Mission Named 'Europa Clipper'

Quote

NASA's upcoming mission to investigate the habitability of Jupiter's icy moon Europa now has a formal name: Europa Clipper.

The moniker harkens back to the clipper ships that sailed across the oceans of Earth in the 19th century.

These ships rapidly shuttled tea and other goods back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean and around globe.
