Mike's "Silver"

This is and Atlas rocket on display at the SAC Aerospace Museum.  There were many version of this rocket, this one probably an ICBM capable of carrying a short range warhead.

Others were used for the space program, launching both satellites and astronauts into space.  Can you imagine strapping your butt to this "Silver Bullet?

Even though this rocket was developed in the 1960's there are still cousins of it in use today.  Atlas Rocket Family
