We are 
With that name, I'd just head whichever way Parker Solar Probe ISN'T going.
The Icarus myth taught us about the need for freedom, for expanding our possibilities. Icarus, our light, black upper stage will allow us to carry bigger payloads and take them a lot farther. Where would you fly to first?

In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of Daedalus. Icarus and Daedalus attempt to escape by means of wings constructed from feathers and wax. Daedalus warns Icarus first to fly neither too low nor too high, lest the sea's dampness clog his wings or the sun's heat melt them.pic.twitter.com/LcrVKMAxVF

Icarus ignores Daedalus’s instructions not to fly too close to the sun, causing the wax in his wings to melt. He tumbles out of the sky, falls into the sea, and drowns. The myth would later be coined in the idiom, "don't fly too close to the sun".
