Sea Dragon (rocket): Design, Sea Dragon in fiction & Overview

The Sea Dragon was a 1962 conceptualized design study for a reusable two-stage sea-launched orbital super heavy-lift launch vehicle. The project was led by Robert Truax while working at Aerojet, one of several designs he created intended to be launched by floating the rocket in the ocean. Although there was some interest at both NASA and Todd Shipyards…
