The "British Interplanetary Society" or "BIS," founded in 1933, which may be the oldest existing space-flight program. It's like something from H. G. Wells or Sir Arthur Doyle.
The Beyond Apollo blog (now hosted at Wired.com) is dedicated to space-flights which never happened; it's an amazing compendium of alternate histories and unrealized futures.
Certainly one of my favorite corners of the web to visit.
"First Men in the Moon" (1964)
