I much prefer Orion, if only emotionally, to nuclear powered ION engines.

There's something intrinsically satisfying about shoving a nuke under a Big metal plate.

I guarantee, that sucker will GO!

Hear, hear! I don't see any other way to get humongous, heavily shielded ships into space at a bargain basement price. And you need both size and heavy shielding if you want your crews to be both safe and relatively comfortable.
