but it touched on the small shuttle, the engineless orbiter, the stretched orbiter and such?

eh it touched on the early design proposals such as flyback boosters, Saturn shuttle and the iterative design process of the orbiter in the first studies starting from the first lifting body proposal that was created as a proposal for the amerika-bomber Germany was researching during ww2. this first proposal in history of a lifting body spacecraft involved a rocket on a rail accelerating down a 1km long rail then boosting up to the edge of the atmosphere and skipping along it, dropping a bomb payload over the united states then continuing to skip along the atmosphere until reaching a base in the Japanese empire in the pacific.

The same atmosphere-skipping idea was actually adopted by the US and became the basis for the X-20 Dyna-Soar, of which there's already a mod for, if you want to try it out for yourself.

yea but tbh the dyna soar is a bit boring, you should try paragliding down like i did with this (totally not ripped off of ETS concept)
