Project Orion

[whatsgoingon]

Don't know where this should go, but it combines the Nuclear Bomb Hoax with space travel.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_%28nuclear_propulsion%29

The basic idea is that small nuclear explosions propel the spacecraft.

So you see the two worlds of fakery collide. Nuclear bombs and space travel, and of course the name of the project is: "Orion."

Another version of the same: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Longshot The Brits had theirs that used Fussion. Daedalus.
