Amazing Grace and Chuck

Chuck Murdock, a 12-year-old boy from Montana, the son of a military jet pilot, becomes anxious after seeing a Minuteman missile on a school field trip, which is intensified by a nightmare of a fork dropping after being told that the speed and effectivess would be done "before a dropped fork hits the floor".

Edward N. Hall

Hall directed the Weapon System 133A (Minuteman) program until the eve of the missile’s first complete flight test.

Fault tree analysis

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) was originally developed in 1962 at Bell Laboratories by H.A. Watson, under a U.S. Air Force Ballistics Systems Division contract to evaluate the Minuteman I Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Launch Control System.

James E. Dalton

He was responsible for the development of the operational targeting programs for the inertially guided SM-65 Atlas, Titan and LGM-30 Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missiles.

LGM-118 Peacekeeper

With live warheads, each would have the explosive power of twenty-five Hiroshima-sized (Little Boy) nuclear weapons

Long baseline acoustic positioning system

In 1981, acoustic positioning was proposed as part of the U.S. military's MX missile system.

Nuclear fratricide

This theory was put forward as a defense mechanism for the LGM-118 Peacekeeper missile deployment, reasoning that multiple detonations would be required to knock out an entire battery of missiles if sufficiently protected.

Quantum Apocalypse

After launching the nuclear missiles via LGM-118 Peacekeeper at the strangelet, time is reversed back to the starting of the film and Ben is shown to be much kinder to Terry and Leo.

Saturn IB-C

The booster would consist of an ordinary Saturn IB with four Minuteman first stages used as strap-on boosters.

Saturn II

The Saturn INT-19 also used SRBs to supplement the power of the S-II, however it used smaller solids, derived from the first stage of the Minuteman missile.

Transporter erector

The United States Air Force's Minuteman ICBM weapon system Transporter Erector (TE) is a mobile system used to emplace LGM-30 Minuteman missiles inside their protective launch facilities.


90th Missile Wing LGM-30 Minuteman Missile Launch Sites

In November 1982, in a decision statement for Congress, President Ronald Reagan stated his plan to deploy the MX missile (later designated the LGM-118 Peacekeeper) to superhardened silos located at Warren.
