Very nice.

But seriously:

SILO based missiles..?

Just seeing it is like those old pig-tail phones, with the rotator clacker thing you’d put your index finger in to dial-wind. Or a little more optimistically, it’s like that scene in Wall-Street, where Godon Gecko is making a mobile call from a mobile phone much bigger than a brick.

MOBILE, bro..!

Evvvverything needs to be mobile.

The Global Strike Command said in a news release that the re-entry vehicle traveled 4,200 miles over the Pacific to the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands.]

Rocket Man,
