Or the Alcubierre (spelling?) one. However, the Orion Project is grounded in accepted physics. The technology is already there--general relatively was already taken into account when they designed it.
The thing is, unless it was launched from Antarctica or the poles, the radiation it would put into the air was estimated to kill a lot of people indiscriminately around the world.

That’s what the moon is for. Or even orbit.
Wonder if there is a suitable nearby asteroid that could have an engine stuck on it.
