Fellow SLASers, Speaking of the Orion I went to a conference on rockets in Denver. Rocket science is really rocket science. There is a lot to it. The meeting lasted three days. Hundreds of talks were presented on a myriad of subjects. One topic of interest to SLASers is Mars exploration. Videos of plans of the technology to go to Mars were shown. The nuclear rocket was discussed. A nuclear rocket will allow faster travel to Mars. Sincerely, Gary Vardon The book DO It Right will help you understand vital ideas leading to your geater success.

It's a two minute test.
