Phi Beta Kappa Hosts Technology Historian George Dyson for Lecture
Dyson, a historian of technology, will discuss his research into a small group of scientists who launched a deeply classified attempt to build a 4,000-ton interplanetary spaceship propelled by nuclear bombs in 1957. After seven years of work, the technical challenges appeared surmountable, but resistance from NASA brought the project to a halt.
