"Project Orion: The True Story of the Atomic Spaceship"

I saw that book at Barnes and Noble and almost bought it. Please let me
know if it is good. If it is I'll buy it despite the reference to Scott ;-)
The price at Amazon is good too as it is full cover at B&N.

Haven't read this yet but I'll get to it this fall, no doubt. However,
I was noodling through my current Smithsonian Air & Space (September
2003, arrived in the mail yesterday) and found a review on p. 80. Lo
and behold, the reviewer takes time to quote s.s.*'s very own Scott
Lowther. Congratulations, Scott. I think . . . ;-)

Ba-bwuh???

Apart from supplying a small amount of the technical amterials used as
reference for the book (George Dyson himself has done - unsurprisingly
- a far more in-depth study of Orion than I have), I was quoted a grand
total of once in the book. Did the review use my "Jackass Flats" quip?


Congratulations, Scott. I think . . . ;-)

Yer damned right...

It's good. Even the paperback version.

If it is I'll buy it despite the reference to Scott ;-)

Yeah, I love you too.

Apparently this is another attempt by Bob Mosley to
convince people that he has no redeeming social value.

...And that's far more of a chance than any sane person would give
