There is an excellent book on this subject and several similar designs called "Starflight Pioneers". It is a hardback, and came out about two years ago. I got my copy at a college bookstore, and i'm sure others could obtain a copy also. It has a lot of information on the bussard ramjet system, and gives complete technical references. I am a computer science graduate student but have long been interested in real space and interstellar flight and ways that technology may evolve. I found this book very accurate and informative. I will try to dig out my copy (my den is the current resting place of primordial chaos) and post the exact ISBN number to make it easier for people to order it. +----------------------------------------------+------------------------+ | | __ | | | / /\ | | Nathan F.
