From the same flight as the Space Glider and Dyna Soar comes theNuclear Shuttle, a Convair design, outfitted with re-usable nuclear drive, the Nuclear Shuttle ferries crew between Moon Base and the orbital sations around Earth Base. A four stage craft with using a glider-based crew shuttle and separate boosters.
Built and customised by the mighty WOTAN: so near, so SWORD.
Oh, boy! I want one for Christmas! Incidentally - it's funny, but Project SWORD didn't seem to have any space stations - what do you guys think they'd look like, the von Braun wheel? Maybe that tinplate space station toy with the big windows, and the little figures inside? Or, continuing the "old kits" theme, maybe the Elwyn angle space station?

aah - Yahoos locked me out of the forum, so i cant reply! but i think the idea was to use the moon as a staging post to Mars and beyond, so stations werent really an issue..
