In 1959 this mock-up version o' t' Orion was launched helpin' prove t' validity o' t' design. 1 Meter in diameter, weighin' 105kg, shiver me timbers, it was nay powered by nuclear blasts but by 1 kilogram balls o' C4 explosive. Ahoy! Watch closely and you can see them come out t' back. It reached a height o' 105meters.
