Astronomical Robotics Titles

Rocket scientists need a love for exploring the unknown, expertise in math and engineering, and the ability to create awesomely improbable acronyms.  Displayed are the probes SELENE, MESSENGER, IKAROS, DSCOVR, THEMIS, OSIRIS-REx...  "...JUICE?"  "Funny story."

What, you thought I was joking?
It should be interesting to see what kind of press the "JUpiter ICy moons Explorer" gets once it's launched (scheduled for 2022).
