Titan Missle Museum, South of Tucson, Arizona


South of Tucson we went to the Titan Missle launch site that protected our nation during the Cold War. There were 54 locations of Titan Missles throughout the nation. This particular site in only a museum now with an inert rocket. Thank goodness, the missle never had to be launched. The missles were a deterrent to a nuclear war. We actually visited the control room where the missle would have been launched at the orders of our Commander in Chief (U. S. President). On the tour, Lynn was selected to act as the Major in command of launching the missle with another partner. What a responsibility! I fired myself! ...and gave myself a raise!

The minuteman rockets now protect our nation and are located in the more northern U. S. States.
