In fact, years before any of that happened some of the most brilliant minds had set their sights on Mars and their methods included nuclear bombs.
Directors Derek Lartaud and Melanie Ruiz made a wonderful short film that talked about Project Orion and how those scientists remember their time together. We were happy to talk with Melanie to ask her how she first found this story, the impact of these men and what is her next project.
