(Note: This is NOT ASB because the Orion Project was being planned for a time, and has actually been proven possible).
Project Orion, the project started in the 50s and 60s to come up with a idea to get to the planet saturn by 1970. The plan? Use a shield at the end of a space craft (think of it as a big bowl), which would absorb the impact of nuclear explosions, sending the space craft launching into space. Hyptothetically, the more nukes, the more energy. It'd be a quick way to travel.
But the project was cancelled.
But what if it wasn't?
