personal rivalries, shifting political alliances and
bureaucratic bungling led to more than 150 deaths
and the eventual failure of the Soviet moon program
itself. 50 minutes. |

Code Name: Project Orion
Video - VHS Video w/FREE Project Orion Book
This program reveals the grand dreams that accompanied
the dawn of the space age. Recently declassified documents
show that NASA had plans to go far beyond the moon,
with a motto of "Mars by 1965, Saturn by 1970."
Hear from scientist Freeman Dyson, one of the most
inventive physicists of his day, who worked with Los
Alamos scientist Theodore B. Taylor on the deep-space
project in the 1950s. 50 minutes.
Project Orion. Dyson. In 1957, a group of U.S.-supported
scientists began work on a spaceship propelled by
nuclear bombs. The initial plan called for missions
to Mars by 1965 and Saturn by 1970. But by 1965, political
obstacles halted the effort. Here, the author synthesizes
interviews and newly excavated documents, still only
partially declassified, to piece together one of the
most tantalizing "what if" stories of the
20th century. 368 pages, 51⁄2"x 81⁄4",
softcover. |

of the same name, this is an extraordinary behind-the-scenes
look at the early years of NASA, highlighting defining
moments such as John Glenn's historic first flight,
the moon landing, and the "successful failure"
of Apollo 13. Kranz and other NASA veterans recall
the "whiz kid" atmosphere in the beginning,

responsibility, and show how the extraordinary exploits
of the astronauts were supported by equally impressive
work on the ground. 100 min.
