Origin of name[]

I moved this here, as the TNG Companion states whom the shuttlepod was named for.

The shuttle name is probably in reference to Donald Campbell who raced to break the world's land and water speed records. While attemping to break the water speed record, he was killed and his body was never found. The producers may have chosen to name the shuttle based on these two reasons referencing the dis-embodied aliens in this episode.
