I guess that would count as”technically mature.”

This reminds me that if you are traveling to Tucson on holiday, you should jog south to see both the iconic San Xavier del Bac Mission, and the Titan II Missile Museum.

(About 10 miles South of Tucson)

Dang!
Now I'm really pessimistic...
They'll probably shift the Starliner employees to the Sentinel project...

It looks way bigger then any of the minuteman series, so maybe they’re bringing back MIRV

Minuteman IIIs are generally MIRVed (1-3 warheads).

Minuteman IIIs were all converted to SRV to comply with START II

They started to do that, but stopped because the Russians were not complying with the treaty.
