We also have X-37 the military space plane, although that’s for the military.

X-33 was a thing, Venturestar by Lockheed. It seemed tantalising in close, a few mishaps and it was cancelled, but surely that would have been worth picking and taking that bit further.



X-37 is too light to carry humans. X-33 was a good idea... with less than adequate implementation, I guess...


No, X-33 was also a bad idea. SSTO is not the way to go.


Starship is rather similar to ASSTO actually.
