OT ... Hi Elmer,

Re: Is the Titan a nuclear missile?
No, it's liquid fuel....


The Titan II was a liquid fueled ICBM. Fuel was unsymmetrical dimethyl hydrazine. Oxidizer was nitrogen tetroxide. Fuel and oxidizer combust on contact. Both are very toxic. In the event of leaks, self contained breathing apparatus were required. Even skin contact can lead to injury and death.

The Titan II carried one huge mutha of a nuclear warhead, which was MIRV'ed in later years.

I'm glad there are no longer any military personnel exposed to this system. It was quite dangerous.

Kind regards,
greg
