When I first heard there was going to be a NASA project called Orion (before I'd read any details about what it was) my heart sank.
I'd been saying to friends for a couple of years that I thought the Bush administration would resurrect the Orion Drive because the small 'shaped' nuclear bombs it requires sound awfully close to the next generation "bunker busters" the hawks are apparently calling for - close enough to be the cover to develop them under.
