The Secret Story of NASA's Atomic Spaceship -- The Precursor to Fusion Starship Travel to Proxima Centauri & Beyond? (VIDEO)
Increasingly, advocates of space exploration believe leaving the planet is the natural next step of human evolution. They hope this will lead to a shift in human consciousness from an earth-centered frame of reference to one centered on the solar system and, eventually, the entire galaxy.
In the video below, world-renowned physicist Freeman Dyson's son, George Dyson, tells the spellbinding story of Project Orion, a massive, nuclear-powered spacecraft the size of the Empire State building fueled by atomic bombs with the power to destroy half of Planet Earth. The mission was to take us to Saturn in five years. With an insider's perspective and a cache of documents -- many still classified -- photos and film, Dyson brings this dusty Atomic Age dream of the early 1960's to life in the video below. Today, the project lives today in limbo at NASA possibly to be activated should an asteroid arrive with our name on it.
