| Re: Projetct Orion battleship Hey.... are those Stealth planes on that thing??? looks pretty close! Kinda scarry that they had a design for something simular to stealth back in the 60's..... but not too unexpected at the same time. Shit.... if I had $160 I'd order it in a heartbeat.

| Re: Projetct Orion battleship Not stealth planes, just tiny black re-entry vehicles/shuttles. One of my associates commissioned me to scratchbuild something just like this but he went all "newly Catholic/ultra right-wing Republican/self-loathing because he had one abortion to his credit" and tried to tell me how to do my job and I told him to fuck off... Thinking about getting one myself.

| Re: Projetct Orion battleship I'm just glad Kennedy told the military mad men to go fuck themselves when they presented this new toy.

   | Re: Projetct Orion battleship While I'm glad there's one less weapon of mass destruction around, I'd love to see that thing built.
