Titan Missile Museum

Hi All,

We split up today. Sandy shopped in Tubac and Carl visited the Titan Missile 
Museum nearby.

When the Titan 2 ICBM System was deactivated in 1987, one launch complex was converted to a museum. Carl was fascinated by the 60's era technology and security.

Yes, this is where the launch codes were kept

Control panel illustrates the launch sequence.

No one was allowed near the controls or the missile alone.

Titan 2 in the silo

Here's the business end, held a 9 megaton warhead atop a two stage, 103 foot tall missile. It could deliver the warhead 6,000 miles to within a football field. This is the same rocket used in the Gemini Program.
