Development of the "lifting body" concept started at the NASA Ames Research center in the mid 1960's. The shape was a lifting fuselage, with no wings, developed to use the aerodynamic forces of reentry to maneuver to a suitable landing area for a horizontal landing.

Quest's M2Q2 will turn heads just like "big boys" did way back then!
