  15. There is an excellent book on this subject and several similar designs
  16. called "Starflight Pioneers". It is a hardback, and came out about
  17. two years ago. I got my copy at a college bookstore, and i'm sure others
  18. could obtain a copy also. It has a lot of information on the bussard
  19. ramjet system, and gives complete technical references.
  20.  
  21. I am a computer science graduate student but have long been interested
  22. in real space and interstellar flight and ways that technology may
  23. evolve. I found this book very accurate and informative.
  24.  
  25. I will try to dig out my copy (my den is the current resting place of
  26. primordial chaos) and post the exact ISBN number to make it easier for
  27. people to order it.
