"Booster throttling to maintain 5G acceleration"

That means vehicle speed is increasing at the rate of 100 mph every second.

2nd Lieutenants everywhere are ecstatic.

When I was on active duty, before GPS, "2nd Lieutenants with a map" were the most dangerous weapons in the US Army inventory.

I was lucky, my first tour was in Germany, where it was easy to navigate...all those small towns with churches for landmarks to navigate by. lol

Four years later, I knew my battalion's operating areas like the back of my hand. Came in handy during my stint as Battalion S-4 (Supply Officer).

Atlas V...I wonder if there are any remnants of the original design of Atlas ICBMs of the 50’s, other than the name?
