Space Shuttle Designs from the '60's and '70's....

Note:  I got curious after reading an I09 article on this subject.  A quick Google led me to the Kuriositas website (where the pics are from).  I'm kinda surprised that Upship Blog hasn't hit on this.  Its usually his bread and butter....

    Space Ship One and Space Ship Two have demonstrated what a true shuttle is supposed to look and function like, so no need to reinvent wheels; just build bigger versions of them.

      no. the X-37 shows what a real shuttle should look like. space ship one and two are just toys.

      SpaceShip One and Two never even made it to space.

      The X-37 I'm cool with though.

    The first picture looks like the Sänger's concept :
