@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."

@root42 That looks like a really durable switch mechanism for 5v .. at least that part will essentially never wear out. Kind of looks like somebody on drugs stared at a buckling spring key switch and thought “what if I turned this inside out”.
