The name and underlying concept also came from Darwins book "Voyage of the Beagle"
Interestingly (for some  ) there is a number of original ideas that resurfaced in the early StarTrek and the whole basis of the film Alien. |
Oh, I always thought Beagle was a piss take of Eagle (Apollo 11)
I guess it's not so cute then
