The Goodyear Meteor Junior was a 1954 concept for a fully reusable spacecraft and launch system designed by Darrell C. Romick and two of his colleagues employed by Goodyear Aerospace, a subsidiary of the American Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company.[1] Darrell Romick originally estimated that the craft would cost about the same as an intercontinental B-52 bomber.[2]
