The USAF's Penetration Fighters:
-North American YF-93
-McDonnell XF-88 Voodoo A/B
-Lockheed XF-90
These had very long range and would fly ahead of a bomber formation to defeat potential interceptors.
None entered production.

DHe3 fusion for 200-day trips to Titan:
www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1...
1630 ton initial mass, 46,322 s Isp for 310 km/s dV, riding a 13 kW/kg reactor. It's 80% efficient, generating 21 kN of thrust. The reactor's C/Be walls must survive 6.2 MW/m^2 of radiation while heated to 1824 K.

A snapshot of NASA planning for the Apollo Extension System in January 1965. AES, which included up to 55 missions, became the Apollo Applications Program. In January 1970, AAP became Skylab, with just 3 missions.

Apollo Extension System Flight Mission Assignment Plan (1965)
The story of spaceflight told through missions and programs that did not happen - that is, the great majority of them.

The North American F-107 was designed as a Mach 2 fighter-bomber able to carry a large tactical nuclear bomb in a semi-recessed ventral hardpoint with a 'saddle' tank, which required it to move its intakes onto its back.
The result is a plane with a really unique look!
