It seems NASA is being lobbied to send a new space probe to Uranus and
Neptune, which haven't been visited by satellites in quite a few years
now. The lobbyists solicited names for this proposed probe and some of
the suggestions are amusing:

One of the suggestions is a shoutout to Futurama, making this a
potentially on-topic post but I left the [OT] in the subject line
anyway. Let's face it, this is not really a TV-related post.

Of course it's on topic. It's an ancient gag that's been done on tv numerous
times.
