I don't know about the movies, but NASA has a trip planned for 2008. In mythology she was a human. Zeus fell in love with her and lured her to Crete where she had 3 kids by him.
Maybe he'll fall in love with VFP9 and have at least 3 more kids?

>Europa is a name from a Greek legend, don't remember whether she was a goddes or was the guy who did her a god (or both). Both the continent and the Jupiter's satellite were named after her - it's just English where the two are spelled/pronounced differently.
