July 11, at 2PM Pacific time, I’m to be interviewed on The Space Show. The subject will be nuclear pulse propulsion; I am pondering several sub-topics to narrow down the focus. Including:
- The history of Project Orion (probably been done to death as far as listeners are concerned)
- The engineering of Orion technology – ships and pulse units
- How nuclear pulse propulsion has been depicted – often wrongly – in popular culture. And how to depict it accurately and interestingly.
- And of course, Pax Orionis. Because.
- I was on The Space Show once before, in December 2013, discussing aerospace history archiving, Dyna Soar and the like.
Suggestions?
