Titan Missile Museum - January 5, 2011

We spent yesterday afternoon at the Titan Missile Museum in Sahuarita, AZ. It was very interesting and informative and it sure makes you think about how fortunate we were to have survived the Cold War without ever having to fire one of these missiles. The Titan II missiles could hit a target 6,000 miles away in 35 minutes. WOW! That is moving!!!
