#1 My father-in-law was a quality control engineer for Martin in Denver, where the Titans were built. He got me admitted to the factory and gave me a tour. Titans were HUGE! Again, much of it was 50's technology, but they were constantly being upgraded. Fueling one took a long time, but they could be on launch ready for up to a week, once fueled. Of course, removing the fuel was even more dangerous than pumping it in to begin with. The Titan-34D is still being manufactured as a launch vehicle for polar orbiting satellites.
