Hmm, can't say I've really seen anything on this before.
...Seems this "Mark Grant" has written a few other space-related
articles. I've dropped him an e-mail to see if he can drop around here
and give some more details on where he picked up this proposal. Hell,
I don't think even Rusty's found it in a PDF!
The link to the original study is at the bottom of the page in the
References section:
Manned Venus Flyby - Bellcom, Inc.
http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19790072165_1979072165.pdf
A Google Groups search shows that Rusty originally posted a message to the
group, with a link to this PDF on Oct 31 2006, 5:52 pm, so Rusty is still
the master. ;-)
What's cool about the Wikipedia page is the picture of the "Mockup of
Phase-A test, in an 'eyeballs-out' burn.", which wasn't included in the
original PDF.
