METEOR A 59-page report from Darrell Romick of Goodyear Aircraft Corporation describing "A Concept for a Manned Earth-Satellite Terminal Evolving From Earth-To-Orbit Ferry Rockets," dated 1956. This report (put together from several sources to maximize the image quality) describes a truly grandiose plan to build a space station 2,500 feet long, with a gravity wheel 1,500 feet in diameter, using a fully reusable three-stage ferry rocket. Each stage of the ferry rocket would be winged and manned; and while the third stage would be fully capable of recovery and reuse, the plan was to use the third stages as raw material for the construction of the giant "city in space." The report describes both the ferry rocket and the space station in great detail. The artwork has been replaced within the report, using artwork obtained via other sources. The result is a truly fascinating look at a pre-Sputnik plan that was both technically valid and incredibly awesome.

Aft Cargo Carrier A 22-page full-color brochure from Martin-Marietta describing their Aft Cargo Carrier concept for the Shuttle. This was a "pod" that sat behind the External Tank and allowed the Shuttle to transport payloads with diameters larger than could be fit within the Orbiters payload bay; it also permitted the addition of further propulsion systems to allow the Shuttle to attain orbit with the ET still attached. This would turn the ET into valuable orbital "real estate" or raw material for on-orbit construction. Filled with art. Most Really Good. Some... kinda lame.
