WWII changed the way they were fought. The US developed the atomic bomb and Germany the ballistic missile. Nothing could stay the same and the old War that followed proved this. In that war, the US and the USSR forged their industrial might into ever-more powerful nuclear weapons and the first Inter-ontinental allistic Missile (IM) which became the symbol of strength for the superpowers. You hold in your hands the onvair SM-D tlas. This was the US s first IM. Weapons like this, tipped with a nuclear payload and shrouded in secrecy, held the peace for decades. It served in the Strategic ir ommand from. The onvair SM-D tlas features a stage and a half design built from stainless steel and can launch a. megaton warhead over,000 miles (,00kms). Later tlas E and variants grew to carry. megaton warheads enclosed by a Mk re-entry vehicle. The tlas IM was retired by the more powerful two stage Titan II missile. ut in its prime, the 0s, tlas played a crucial role in early space exploration, launching spy satellites, Lunar Ranger probes, and the first interplanetary probes, the Mariner, which were sent to Venus and Mars. The very first mericans to ever orbit the earth flew atop an tlas rocket.
