One sizable document I’ve scanned for preservation is a Rockwell presentation package from October, 1985, showing a large number of space programs that the company could capitalize on. These included everything from minor mods to the Space Shuttle to major changes… stretching the orbiter, stretching the tank, adding additional boosters. Heavy lift boosters to put SLS to shame; heavy lift SSTOs; small experimental spaceplanes; manned military spaceplanes; space-based weaponry; space stations; space based nuclear power. Figured this stuff might be of some modest interest. So why not, I’ll post little bits of it from time to time.
I still think the space shuttle should continue to be used today and should never have been retired until an actual replacement came to be.
Scott,
Is this document for sale in it’s entirety? Thanks.

No, it’s being posted in its entirety for free. Even in aerospace, my munificence is boundless.
