I do. How many T-IV missions have you worked? Were you there when
Martin Marietta briefed the concept of the Titan 34D7 at the CELV
industry day? Do you have a copy of the Titan IV user's guide? Did
you attend a Titan IV payload integration course?

after sitting out in the desert so long could they still be used?

Why do you think they store all that stuff in the desert in the first
place?

Well if theres NO launch pad left, then perhaps for parts?

Or perhaps they just havent gotten around to detroying them before
sending them off to be melted for scrap? Or are being retained in case
a museum wants some?

I just wonder why they havent been melted for scrap.

Incidently I do much the same for my office machine repair business,
have a 16 by 20 foot shed FULL of junkers for parts. when i have the
time i disassemble for scrap metal

...Yo, you *might* want to change your alias, so that you're not
mistaken for "Charlie X. Murphy", aka "Jim", who's a known catamitic
troll currently infesting the sci.space groups. He also goes by "Me",
although in the capital "M" sense.

GIVE IT A REST FFS!!!!!

There is nothing worse than opening this group to find 20 new posts (hooray)
only to find out half of them are from you telling others what to do,
containing absolutely *no* space stuff, chock full of rubbish.

I would have killfiled you by now OM except I'm waiting in case you actually
post some of this huge knowledge you have. Hmmm, still waiting, finger is
getting closer to the PLONK button...

Cheers Dre

I really wish they would remake that; that was one fun movie.

Only 13 of the 54 were used for spacelaunch. It ended up that a Delta

As for the Titan I's, there were no launch pads for them. The cape
ones had been converted to T-II and T-IIIA. The VAFB were only silos
with elevators, not very useful for space launch.

The Russians don't have problems with silo space launches.
