Titan II ICBMs?
- djsumdog 8y agoThe weapon that can never really be used without risking mutually assured destruction.
- stcredzero 8y agoHow about an ICBM based on the Falcon 9 and Dragon capsule that's designed to land gently in enemy territory, so the pilot can step outside in a silver suit and say "klaatu barda nikto!"
- walrus01 8y agoRight, but a camera reconnaissance platform is a very different thing than starting WW3 with an ICBM launch. But imagine the US freakout if the Soviet Union had built something comparable in capability to the SR71 and overflown CONUS during the cold war.
