Un modelo para armar pero nunca para desarmar

El sistema de misiles balísticos intercontinentales de EE.UU. Muy interesante, espero que no lo tengan que utilizar nunca:

ICBM fields, unnerving though their purpose may be, are engineering triumphs. The proof is their age—the Air Force installed these launch systems in the early 1960s, and they have stayed at readiness levels exceeding 99 percent ever since. Even more astounding, the Pentagon built the ICBM fields to last only a few decades. When the Minuteman III retires, the silos and launch facilities at Malmstrom will have been buried for 70 years.
