Dr. James A. Dewar was the special guest for this program. Mr. Dewar has re-released his book through Apogee, "To The End Of The Solar System: The Story of the Nuclear Rocket."

Mr. Dewar guided us through the technology and perhaps even more important, the politics of the nuclear rocket program story for the years 1955-73 through the Nixon Administration. One can only wonder what our space world would be like today had this program not...
