From Wikipedia
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, the project was not implemented. With dimensions of 150 m (490 ft) long and 23 m (75 ft) in diameter, Sea Dragon would have been the largest rocket ever built. It is comparable to other unbuilt concepts such as Convair's Nexus and Super Nexus, Boeing's Large Multipurpose Launch Vehicle, Phillip Bono's series of reusable single stage launch vehicles, and various NOVA Post-Saturn launch vehicles.
