Attention, scriptwriters:
DO NOT NAME ANYTHING, EVER, "THE ICARUS PROJECT." I think the worst part is that scientists are always involved, and you think that ONE of them would be literate enough to go, "hey, guys, that's a really bad name for ANYTHING WE WANT TO SUCCEED."
I wonder how many fictional projects/other things have been named after Icarus. This may be one of my least favorite tropes.
Edit: unrelatedly, it turns out that the cousin of one of my classmates in my teaching program owned our house directly before us. Just, so you know.
