Well, at least we now know that you know you were wrong when you said he
made that quote up. But since you don't like geocities, how about these
for starters:

LGM-30 MINUTEMAN III
Primary Function: Intercontinental ballistic missile
Guidance systems: Inertial system

Peacekeeper
Primary function: Intercontinental ballistic missile
Guidance system: Inertial

....the MX's extremely accurate guidance--an inertial system capable of
being updated in flight by signals from navigation satellites...

Damn Jax, if you were only smart enough to do a google search on "ICBM
navigation system" you'd realize how wrong you are.

shen, you don't seem to have enough intelligenc to be able to figure out --
on
your best day -- that eric made that quote up.

You're hilarious. First, you don't even know who you're responding to.
And second, if you actually had enough "intelligenc" to do a google
search you'd see that he didn't make it up at all, that it's a verbatim
cut'n'paste from he

So tell me again how ICBMs have no navigation system...

Steve

Minuteman ICBM Technical Specifications:

Guidance:

Improved NS-20 (INS-20) gimbaled inertial guidance system
manufactured by Autonetics Division, Rockwell International. The bus,
or post-boost vehicle, is maneuvered by six pitch and yaw motors, and
four smaller roll motors. Current plans are to retrofit the existing
force with the gimballess AIRS (advanced inertial reference sphere)
developed for the Peacekeeper (MX) missile. This will increase
accuracy to 330ft (100 m), comparable to the Peacekeeper.

Jax is too funny. Now he's trying to convince people that the inertial
navigation system in ICBMs that guide them to "aim towards a target as
they lift off" (his words) is not a navigation system.

Talk about not even knowing English as a language.

Ah, I see. So then since the ICBMs are in the silos pointing straight
up and they have no navigation system, then the only thing they could
ever possibly hit is the silo that launched them. Very good. You
nailed that one too.

who said that couldn't be programed to turned to aim towards a target as
they
lift off. Who said that was a "navigation" system.

dumb cluck. don't even know English as a language.
