If orion use for manned explorations, people inside the spacecraft have to go through a very high accelerations. Can human tolerate such a huge accelaration? Even it is hard to keep in normal state in normal chemical rocket.

No, if you read the book (I am) they found that VERY large Orion craft (oceanliner size and up) have less G force on the occupants than the Shuttle.

High G training can train a human to sustain under a constant of 9 G's, but the nuclear propulsion that Orion uses only gives short bursts, and those have a completely different survivability (up to 100g).

To call him 'Black' is an insult to his mother. She is 'White', his father is Black, thus he is mixed race. But whatever, he is still a prick. Lol. And that peace prize. What a joke. The whole Nobel thing is a joke. They're prizes for the best illuminati party line towers. Nobel invented dynamite for fucksake. What's that say about a peace prize?
