There seems to be very good stuff going
on at Cornell University these days.
Steve Squyres is there, seeing to the
Mars rovers; here's a new one:

which is a a large list of links with
some comment about the Project Orion, the
idea of nuclear pulse propulsion for space
ships travelling thru local parts of our
solar system (and potentially, much more
far out).
'seb' is Selden Bell, and he's doing some
great work here.
