Looking up from the bottom of a missile pointed up inside a cramped underground silo, which is lined with retractable platforms and various apparatus.

@mattblaze While the Atlas (more so than Titan I would argue) turned out to be a lousy ICBM, it had quite the career as a launch vehicle. Not quite as legendary as the R-7 though.I think we can all be thankful that the ICBMs have remained "quietly heroic."
