I mentioned the way that her pants had shifted from being basically pantaloons (tight at the cuffs, loose in the leg) into tight jeans when she shifted.
Not even duct tape can fix stupid. But it can muffle the noise.

She had bird legs, how do you know they weren't spandex both times? (Drumsticks, anyone?)Fairportfan wrote:I mentioned the way that her pants had shifted from being basically pantaloons (tight at the cuffs, loose in the leg) into tight jeans when she shifted.

Well, they definitely look like jeans in panel two.Opus the Poet wrote:She had bird legs, how do you know they weren't spandex both times?

Now that you mention it, they could very well have been snug to her drumsticks...

but then it shouldn't be properly called an Orion Drive, as that was the code-name for the military project for specifically for one of those... and another example of one is in the book "Footfall" written by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle back in '85.zachariah wrote:An Orion drive will work with any type of explosive. It will depend on the mass of the object to be moved for the size of the blast. The drive concept is simple but very brute force. It was first proposed in 1947 and did offer a high energy, large lift capacity that exceeded any other method of propulsion at the time. A good example of it's proper use can be found in 'The Shiva Option' by David Weber and Steve White.

Pretty much everyone in the SF writing community then was aware of the Orion drive, but not too many managed to work it into a story. (S.M. Stirling did, and Stephenson; other examples are left to your level of boredom.) But for the test flight check out this video. The unmanned proof-of-concept vehicle was launched with 1kg charges of C4 and it flew successfully. Eventually, as we all know, folks opted for a different space launch technology.
