- A 1972 study for a low cost booster, one of them a Saturn V first stage modified to serve as a flyback booster.
The S-IC stage would allow the booster to fly back to the Kennedy Space Center
The Saturn-Shuttle concept also would have eliminated the Space shuttle solid rocket boosters

Finally. The most kerbal of all rockets
This is certainly a more believable evolution in the For All Mankind timeline. I’d love to see this one flying in season 2.
Had to change my original comment. You are probably too young to remember what a truly bad program the “Space Shuttle was. Two of the five vehicles lost with 14 people dead. NO escape systems. Just politics. Your video is great.
What is that rocket…
Everyone's saying this looks like it was designed in Kerbal Space Program, but imagine what the world would have been like if the Space Shuttle never flew. People would say the same thing about its design.
Really???? Able for launching methods!?
I am at a loss for words. First of all, the animation is amazing and unreal, and second of all, the level of cursedness here is sooooo high. Like HOW.
And one guy was supposed to glide that thing back. With a stick. Imagine the view at stage separation, with the second stage already lit and throttling up as you recede.
Manned booster?
The level of realism just gets better and better each video
Growing up, I was fascinated by all the renderings of different configurations for the Shuttle. The two manned components, the orbiter and the fly-back booster were the most intriguing.
With fictional alternatives like this, you can see how flawed the actual STS program was.
This would be so tail heavy, I can't imagine trying to fly this thing back to the launch site. It would make the space shuttle look like a fighter jet.
Quite frankly these videos should be considered for the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. Really well made.
Wow. Wish they had done this. Also, fabulous job as always. Loved the helicopter blades.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the attention to detail of adding the small bits of debris floating between the Shuttle and its external tank... Wow.
im taking notes!
Totally blown away by the video and the accompanying very original and fitting sound track. It’s like I’m watching a documentary about the Space Program of a parallel Earth!
Good old kerbal nasa rocket concepts from the 60s-70s
I keep coming back to this one. Love watching it. A concept that deserved to become reality. I imagine this, and the Sea Dragon working together in an alternative late seventies NASA.
