Icarus's Wish Poster

Daedalus and Icarus were an Athenian craftsman and his son. They were exiled in Crete after Daedalus murdered his apprentice whose skill was greater than his master's. When the father and son were imprisoned by the king of Crete, the inventor made wings from feathers and wax so that he and his son could escape by flying away. Despite his father's warnings, Icarus flew too close the sun. The wax in his wings melted and he perished while his father flew to safety. In the year 2173, mans' desire to escape the boundaries of earth remains forever strong, and by this time he has acquired sufficient technology and resources to make this dream a reality. So in rememberance of Icarus, they named the project "Icarus's Wish" - whereby they would launch a series of manned missions to the outer-space and beyond, searching for freedom from earth.
