Engineering Colloquium

Who: George Dyson, research associate at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington and is currently Director's Visitor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Mr. Dyson will discuss "Nuclear Propulsion, and Project Orion: Manned Missions to Saturn for 1970 (After Mars in 1965!)." This presentation will cover the technical and historical essentials of Project Orion, and will discuss -- but not answer -- two questions: What would happen if for some reason we had to build Orion today? What might have happened if we had built Orion in 1959?
