The British Interplanetary Society proposed using a modified V-2 called ‘Megaroc’ to perform a manned suborbital spaceflight before 1950. (https://www.bis-space.com/megaroc/)

They were pretty visionary when it came to space exploration and even made the first serious study into potential manned lunar mission in 1938 using a ‘step rocket’. (https://www.bis-space.com/the-bis-lunar-spaceship/)

There is a link to some generic viagra salespitch [1] in that first article, I wonder how it got there - a subtle hack or a strange form of advertising?

The control connections between cabin and hull would uncouple automatically on separation and the communication system would be switched from the four-dipole arrays arranged in blisters near the stem of the hull to arrays situated under the floor of the cabin. --->>>This moment can be described as the action of sildenafil.<<<--- Cabin attitude and rate of spin would be controlled by hydrogen peroxide jets.

[1] I assume it to be a salespitch by the URL, not having followed the link I can not be sure
