New here

[Icarus]

Your screen name appeals to me. You have chosen well. I am a great admirer of the late doctor Sagan as well as several other distinguished astrophysicists...Kolb, Smoot, Tyson, Greene, Impey and many more.

I am also a newbie here so I may not be permitted to welcome you on behalf of the veteran members. I will say welcome on behalf of this freshman member.

it's a good thing you've decided to join us rather than running away in terror  (just kidding!)

Ah ye but running never does them any good, we always track them down.

Hello Carl Sagan, I heard you'd been ill, glad you're feeling better.
