Here's another fairly short one... The study from Oct 31, 1962 (right there during the Cuban Missile Crisis!) of the Direct Flight Apollo Study: Two Man Apollo Spacecraft. The study looked at a two-man variant of the Apollo spacecraft designed to land directly on the surface of the moon, and also looked at a modified Gemini to perform the same mission, and the feasibility of such craft as a rescue vehicle and logistics/supply vehicle for extended lunar missions needing heavy cargoes on the lunar surface. This would make a neat "Mars Lander" type spacecraft, but this one could be entered in future/fantasy scale, as it was a real proposal.
Here's the summary...
