    Northrup Grumman Wedge-tail Supersonic Aircraft Design Patent

    Hey you're right about that aircraft as a possible bomber. If you get a copy of Orion's "US Bomber Projects Preview", you will see that one as well as a few new ones. You won't be disappointed. Trust me it's worth getting. Just ask Orion.

    Top secret DERA rocket designed by the Engel group at VA Pibrans - a basic concept for project orion?

    Only insofar as it was "bang makes vehicle move." In fact it looks a *lot* like the original Ulam concept, which looked a lot different from the eventual Orion. Early ideas often require *vast* changes once actual engineering gets involved.

    A three way space race - with a twist (NASA vs AEC vs USAF)

    So the US also fails to get to the Moon by the end of the deadline as well? :) Seriously, while Orion could get a boost from committed Air Force funding keep in mind this was prior to ramping up in Vietnam, but this likely means that NERVA is butterflied away as NASA can't afford it during...

    Top secret DERA rocket designed by the Engel group at VA Pibrans - a basic concept for project orion?

    Ok, you got me there. Another German invention on which project Orion might have been based. However, I mean a similar description that fits this one here: The von Ganswindt principle described is not really looking like the Orion one, is it?

    Andreas Parsch has a nice summary of three US designs - the Martin "Bold Orion", the Lockheed "High Virgo", and the McDonnell "Alpha Draco". Looks like only the Bold Orion and High Virgo got flight tested from aircraft. Link: http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/app4/ws-199.html

    Artemis Moon Program

    Falcon Heavy can put a lot of mass into orbit, but its upper stage doesn't have the performance to put something as heavy as Orion into the proper transfer orbit. For getting Orion to Lunar orbit, by design there's no other existing vehicle to do the job. Any option other than SLS falls into the...
