[livejournal.com profile] rbos pointed out this site, which outlines the basics of a fully-reusable heavy-lift booster, powered by a gas-core nuclear rocket engine using liquid hydrogen as propellant and coolant, and capable of lifting a thousand-ton payload to LEO and then bringing it or a different thousand-ton payload back.

It's written at a pretty basic level, but it's thought-provoking.
