Project Orion began in 1958 with Ted Taylor and Freeman Dyson, working to build a spacecraft powered by nuclear pulse propulsion. Though the project is looked back on with great fondness by it’s participants, it was ultimately shut down from political concerns. It’s a fascinating story, which George Dyson (Freeman’s son) documented in his book on the subject. Town Hall has some really amazing lectures lined up over the coming months, and this is sure to be no exception.
