NASA had a 1979 illustration of what the Space Shuttle should have been, which would have been giving the Saturn V the &quot;Falcon 9&quot; treatment to fly back the first stage.<p>If they had we might have had Starship by 1995 and been doing some of the stuff O&#x27;Neill was talking about it but instead we got something Ralph Nader warned us about.
