Project Orion was a study of a starship intended to be directly propelled by a series of explosions of atomic bombs behind the craft (nuclear pulse propulsion) • The project was eventually abandoned for multiple reasons such as the Partial Test Ban Treaty which banned nuclear explosions in space as well as concerns over nuclear fallout. • The biggest design was the Super Orion design; at 8 million tons, 7250000000 Kilograms it could easily be a city. • One design proposed by Freeman Dyson for the Super Orion called for the pusher plate to be composed primarily of uranium or a transuranic element so that upon reaching a nearby star system the plate could be converted to nuclear fuel. • #shorts
