Nexus was just one of several HLLV’s considered for a 1970’s post-Saturn program; a common design element was a payload of one million pounds to low Earth orbit. Designs such as the Douglas ROMBUS, the Aerojet Sea Dragon, the Boeing MLLV and the Convair Nexus were all a part of this. Sea Dragon was obviously sea-launched, the rest (and certainly Nexus) would have required modification to the crawler-transporter and one or more of the Saturn era launch pads.
