The Lockheed Martin X-33 VentureStar! I hate that this program was cancelled! Lots of new technology, linear aerospike rocket engines, lifting body, composite tanks, and single stage to orbit ability! No external tanks or booster rockets, just fuel it, shoot it. Comes back down, fast turn around, fuel it, shoot it again. The X-33 was to test new tech, and the VentureStar was to replace the Space Shuttle. The program was expensive and delayed, leaking composite hydrogen tanks finally killed it!
