Things that are awesome and end badly

I am getting really, seriously ( excited for Loncon/Worldcon )

That said, the British Interplanetary Society gets SO MUCH SIDE-EYE from me. Y’see, back in the day they designed a spaceship based on extrapolated technology, right? And they called it Daedalus. And then recently they did a new version, which as you might imagine, they named Icarus.

FUCKING ICARUS.

*torn between tearing my hair out and dying of LOL*

I remember when I heard about the film Prometheus I was like, “that is stupid, no one would build a spaceship to go and see the creator-race and name it Prometheus!!!” BUT APPARENTLY I WAS WRONG.
