A Documentary Film
about Project Orion

'Project Orion was a study conducted in the 1950s and 1960s by the United States Air Force, DARPA, and NASA into the viability of a nuclear pulse spaceship that would be directly propelled by a series of atomic explosions behind the craft.'

This is a very special film, that I have really done an immense amount of research on, from physics, mathematics as well as cross-referencing various different books and previous documentary films. I've used private detectives in the past to find subjects alive/dead and the families of them to source early photographs/video footage.

I've obtained rare Japanese documentary footage (and permissions to use) that was probably only aired in Japan in the 1980s.
