Dear BlikjeBier,

I would like to kindly request your permission to feature your image of the Daedalus interstellar spacecraft.

I am deputy Project Leader of Project Icarus, the followup design study to the 1970s Daedalus. In our work, we will look at how much closer to our goal of interstellar flight we have come in the last 30 years.

One of our objectives is to collect every illustration of the Daedalus ever produced, in one place. The images will be hosted at our project web portal, at:

from where you may also follow our progress.

It would be an honor for us if you would give permission to use the *attached* image. We would also appreciate a brief caption, perhaps describing the circumstances which led to the production of this illustration, or simply some anecdotal information.

I look forward to your reply,

Kind Regards,

Dr. Andreas C. Tziolas
PhD Theoretical Astrophysics and Cosmology
Project Icarus, Deputy Project Leader

Hey I featured one of your images on my front page.
