1977 NASA concept art depict a “spider” design for a space station used as a hub for the space shuttle: “A solar array was to be unwound from the exhausted main fuel tank. The structure could then be formed and assembled in one operation. The main engine tank would then be used as a space operations control center, a Shuttle astronaut crew habitat, and a space operations focal point for missions to the Moon and Mars.” (NASA)
