Dyson ⭐ ⭐ SELLS ON AMAZON $342.19 + SHIPPING ⭐ ⭐ 4,000 Ton Spaceship Propelled By Nuclear Bombs ⭐ In 1957, a small group of scientists, supported by the U.S. government, launched an attempt to build a four-thousand-ton spaceship propelled by nuclear bombs. The initial plan called for missions to Mars by 1965 and Saturn by 1970. After seven years of work, political obstacles brought the effort to a halt.The Orion team, led by the American bomb-designer Theodore B. Taylor, included the physicist Freeman Dyson, whose son George was five years old when the existence of the project was first announced. In Project Orion, George Dyson has synthesized hundreds of hours of interviews and thousands of pages of newly excavated documents, still only partially declassified, to piece together one of the most tantalizing "what if" stories of the twentieth century. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 STAR TRUE BLUE REVIEWS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ RARE FIND, OUT - OF PRINT EDITION ⭐⭐ "Project Orion describes one of the most awesome 'might have been' (and may yet best!) of the space age. This is essential reading for anyone interested in government bureaucracies and the military-industrial complex." --Sir Arthur C. Clarke"The sheer outlandishness of the forgotten space endeavor is nothing less than fascinating." --Discover"George Dyson has done us the favor of relating a truly strange and wonderful yarn. This [is] a better space story than any we have now, in fact or fiction." --Neal Stephenon, author of Cryptonomicon, The Diamond Age, and Snow Crash The improbable story of the wildest idea-a space craft powered by hydrogen bombs-to come out of the space race.It was the late 1950s. The Cold War was raging. Sputnik had made its voyage and the space race was on. In America, it was the age of tail fins and "duck and cover," but it was also a time of big ideas and dreams. On his way to school one day, George Dyson learned of a truly fantastical idea: massive space vehicles that would be powered by explosions of multiple hydrogen bombs. Among the brilliant minds behind this project was George's father, the eminent physicist Freeman Dyson.Project Orion chronicles this fascinating episode in U.S. scientific research while capturing a unique time in American history and culture. The project brought together a cadre of brilliant physicists, the first such assemblage since the Manhattan Project of fifteen years earlier. In an idyllic seaside community in southern California very picture of 1950s suburban prosperity handful of scientists tackled a massive project that required the ingenuity of an engineer and the vision of a great theoretician. Their work-ambitious but ultimately futile-took place against the political and cultural backdrop of the Cold War, when nuclear technology spelled both promise and terror.Dyson's prodigious historical and scientific research, combined with his reminiscences and connections, make for a lively, richly detailed narrative.
