I'm in two minds about it, it seems like it could have been mans fast-track to the stars. My only real objections are that it hadn't ever been put to the test properly, and the information available about Orion seems too-good-to-be-true.

I read about this in a science book. Gotta love homeschooling It's seems like it'd be kinda dangerous in atmosphere and on commonwealth stations
