I was stationed at Vandenberg in 1975, working on the MinuteMan III warheads. One nice foggy morning they launched a Titan IIIC, a Titan with strap-on solids boosters, it blew up, it was spectacular, many years later when Challenger blew up it looked terribly familiar. I saw many launches, but the Minutemaen were the most impressive, unbelievably fast out of the hole.
Even in 1975 we could hit a 100 foot circle at 6000 miles with a Minuteman III. The Peacekeeprs are even more accurate.
