"Dyna-Soar, Hypersonic Strategic Weapons System" comes with a bonus DVD. It was a Space Shuttle with a mission - to drop a weapon payload anywhere on Earth and to do so while approaching its target at hypersonic velocity - 18,000 miles per hour. Between 1957 and 1963 the Dyna-Soar program consumed $430 million of the US taxpayer's money. Today, much of the research and technology acquired during the Dyna-Soar program is still valid. Much of it went into the Space Shuttle and some is still being used as background for the various vehicles on the drawing boards. The story of Dyna-Soar is one of the great "what-ifs" of American aerospace history. If it had been seen to completion it might have seen service as a weapon, a shuttle, a life-boat for the space station, a tourist vehicle, or in its proposed advanced versions even a conveyance for regular trips to a moon base.
