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, "Project Orion describes one of the most awesome 'might have beens' (and may yet bes!) of the space age.
