Hi There - Welcome to OA!
Regarding the name of the project and pulling from our FAQ pages:
Orion's Arm is a play on the name of the local arm of the Milky Way galaxy in which our solar system resides. Orion is also the name of the first nuclear-powered rocket project (which was never built), a mighty hunter of Greek mythology, and a generic mytho-poetic reference that just sounds cool.
Hope this helps,
Todd
