Icarus Robotics is a startup with at least six million dollars in funding so far. the idea is to train robots on human workers to make space mass production… work. or something.

Obvious grift company aside, take a guess what the Greek air force officially calls their flying officers.
Although to be fair being deliberately morbid is a definitely a thing in the military, and the writing on their logo is doric greek for “We’ll do better”.
They say “the arts” are a waste of time.

With a name like that, there’s no limit to the heights they can reach!
A new life awaits you in the Offworld Colonies!
what a name choice
just fucking stunningly naked grift, incredible
Coincidentally, I was passing Brasilia airport yesterday, and there’s a company called “Icarus Aviation”. Which I thought was a … bold … choice of name.
I guess the real innovation we might hope from a company like this is that they make robots that don’t break, even when they fall from LEO. 🤣

Spoiler ahead for B5: And then Icarus will discover a strange dark ship.
And we’ll get the second worst film
Their favourite part of the Story Of Icarus was when Icarus jumped in the IcarusMobile and shouted “It’s Icarussin’ Time” and then sped away in a cloud of smoke
@sc_griffith Icarus Robotics, a division of Hubris Holdings.
Ha, that is the same name the sun energy system has in the Peter Watts Blindsight series.
It eventually falls into the sun.
@sc_griffith “Soma Capital”, eh?
Oh this is good.
@sc_griffith Nuke them from low Earth orbit
