The most famous ship of discovery is, of course, the Beagle, the ship that
was captained by Robert FitzRoy and carried a very young Charles Darwin as
an
unpaid naturalist  in 1831 (see:
http://www.biology.com/visitors/ae/voyage/beagle.html ). The United States
has yet to name a spacecraft after the Beagle, but the Beagle 2 lander being
currently built by the British and the European Space Agency will be the
core
project of the ESA Mars Express, currently scheduled to land on Mars in 2003
(see: http://beagle2.open.ac.uk/ ). As you might guess, the intention of the
Beagle 2 is to look for the independent evolution of life in this solar
system.

Well not entirely true, the Apollo 10 LEM was named "Snoopy".  Close enough.
