The "rescue mission" Sam is expecting is named Eliza. ELIZA was a 1960's computer program created by M.I.T. which mimicked chatting with a human operator in the manner of a therapist or psychologist. This is an obscure reference but obviously one pointed toward GERTY in the film. Its banal responses to Sam's statements and questions are very much in the manner which ELIZA used to provide.
