They're a running in-joke in my space opera RPG campaign.
But NASA is literally planning on sending one to Europa. Called "tunnelbot" it's basically a nuclear powered drill that will go through Europa's ice. Well, it may not be nuclear.
But it likely will.
However, this is a long-term plan. The designers have not worked out what kind of spaceship they need to get it there or, big obstacle with many probe missions, how to land on the icy world.
Still.
It's a nuclear powered mole machine.
