Here is a 1966 NASA press release for the 1967 astronaut selection. The

"Just like a hammerhead shark, this one, mate!
Zeros in on it using those two separated electrical field sensors on its
head to read the internet!
Does it by differential input to its eyes!
Triangulates on it...then....BOOM.... right into the hard drive it goes!
One of nature's most cunning PDF feeding machines!
Nothing gets away from it!
Crikey!" :-)
