Veteran long-duration space flier to lead NASA undersea crew

NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO) mission June
16-29. The quartet will serve as the NASA members of a crew that will
live in the Aquarius Underwater Research Facility off the coast of Key
Largo, Fla.

So is the character in the "Finding Nemo" movie named after NEEMO, or
vice versa, or is it just a coincidence?
