This looks kinda typical for development. I would say they seem to have gotten their stuff together towards the end of the schedule. Boy, they spent some rubles on it.

I earn my money with technical documentation. 12/28/80 is my new code for: "Hello? Development department? Important information is missing." Former code was 4-128. Guess why ;-)

But they're recoverable/stay intact? I find that hard to believe.

Aaron Amick

lol, good catch. I didn't see that right away.

Found and Recovered are two very different things. We found the Barringer Crater... we didn't recover it.

Toni Krause

damn, i hoped you'll start your brief with "let's do something weird: read the fucking manual." :-)

I have image of an actual recovered flown MIRV. That thing surely looks like it has gone through some hell, I can tell you.

If you search "minuteman reentry vehicle" you can see a photo of a recovered Minuteman RV.
