That Old Guy with the Beard@Doctor_Roo Excellent choice!
But really, PotA pretty much had to have the thing go very badly. Naming a space mission The Icarus really set them up for failure. Why go all out and call it The Odyssey and basically never expect to see it return?
@IanAMartin LOL, yes.
I’ve heard the spaceship referred to as both Icarus and Liberty 1, though neither name is actually used in the film itself. Icarus seems to be a fan invention, while Liberty 1 turned up in a special feature on the 2008 Blu-ray box set.
Liberty 1 has a certain irony given the film’s ending, but I can just as easily imagine the ever-cynical Taylor nicknaming his ship Icarus.
