If you’re ever in Albuquerque, New Mexico you can see it in the nuclear museum (can’t recall what it’s specifically called)
In a similar vein, Project Pluto. Essentially a nuclear ramjet that could fly 150m off the ground at 3,700 km/h, was impossible to intercept at the time, could carry sixteen nuclear warheads and crop-dusted the earth with radiation everywhere it went. It was eventually cancelled for being “too provocative.” Which, coming from the US army, is quite a thing lol.

I’m amazed that Project Orion went on as long as it did.
That link doesn’t work for me, so incase anyone has the same issue… [Project Orion](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion\))
Trick is to add a backslash before the two closing brackets, like this:
Including political science?
