Glenn Harlen Reynolds, one of the people on the Board
of the Foresight institute, has recently written a review
based (apparently) on George Dyson's recent book regarding
Project Orion.
Glenn's commentary:

Project Orion book:
Very interesting with respect to our ability to withdraw from treaties.
While I'm not fond of the normal Project Orion perspective I have a
great deal of optimism that DNA repair in the public can be enhanced
to tolerate the radiation exposures these launches might present.
An *interesting* question -- what percentage of the human race
might one sacrifice for its ultimate survival?
Begs some very interesting questions as to precisely when the
needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
