Hazegrayart video
The Boeing X-20 Dyna-Soar ("Dynamic Soarer") was a United States Air Force (USAF) program to develop a spaceplane that could be used for a variety of military missions, including aerial reconnaissance, bombing, space rescue, satellite maintenance, and as a space interceptor to sabotage enemy satellites.
The program ran from Oct. 24, 1957 to December 10, 1963, and was cancelled just after spacecraft construction had begun.

Very cool video. What might have been...
I've never heard of Hazegrayart so I checked out their YouTube channel and they have some other nice videos, including a Nova booster dressed like Evel Knievel.

VERY nicely done. The only thing I'd say is that it was designed to land on the concrete runway at Edwards, not the dry lakebed.
Can you imagine the spark trail on the skids?

Very nice film. Dyna-Soar was always one of my favorites when I was a youngster.
