In 1985 Rockwell considered the possibility of a 150-ton payload reusable SSTO. Possible missions for it included lunar logistics, space based weaponry and solar power satellite launch. There were, however, no actual paid-for programs needing the capability enough to justify the development cost.
I vaguely recall seeing a diagram of this design somewhere, long ago. An article in “Spaceflight,” perhaps?
