Orion would have been something to see, as would Von Braun's idea for
the imperial exploration of Mars through fleets of giant rockets. But
there the wellsprings of memory ran dry. I'd be very interested to hear
about other truly audacious plans for space travel -- has anyone ever
seriously proposed an interstellar mission, for example, or something
involving more than ten crew?

How about the proposed all female crewed space shuttle mission?
