Please send additions, corrections, suggestions, comments and hatemail to the email address at the bottom of this page. This is only a small selection of the available websites concerning Project Orion. Some of my own personal favourites. If you know of any good articles yourself or have even written one then please contact me. I'm always happy to hear from other Orion fanatics.

Some of my published internet articles related to nuclear power and space can be read below if anyone is interested. Mostly stories I had published at SpaceDaily.

Those of you aware of the Mars Society who follow the fortnightly 'Radio Free Mars' broadcast can soon listen to me stumble through a recorded interview which was conducted by Jim Burk and slated for airing after April 29th. Due to a lack of funding the show has been delayed.

Yes, I'm collecting money to build a Starship. Should make an interesting tourist attraction when completed.

Visit the new Orion message board if you are looking for good discussions. For space news I always recommend SpaceDaily.

Say hello at the original Project Orion Club if you get a chance. The first Orion forum on the internet and still running after all these years.


Articles and Letters.

Some of these articles and letters have appeared at numerous media sources. Let me know if you see them in some odd corner of the web I may not know about. Nuclear Space news is growing in popularity and I have trouble keeping track of all the places discussing it. Writing articles is a haphazard hobby for me but I do try to churn out a few each year now. Like all things, writing is most difficult at the beginning. Once you actually have an idea of your subject and start typing it just flows on from there.... tap...tap... tappity...tap.... tap...
