There is no problem in the human condition that cannot be solved by the proper placement, timing, tamping and fusing of high explosives. | |

A lot of research emerged from this platform. NASA used it for a couple of years. |

The bursting altitude for a SAM-2 was 60,000 feet. The B-2 cruised well above that.. |

B-2? Thought this was about the B-70..... And according to wiki that had a ceiling above 70,000 and was shelved due to SAM missile developments. Especially after the U-2 was taken down. |

Not a favorite of mine, no heart and soul. But for it's time it was pretty advanced. It looks more like it came from a sci-fi show rather than something that came from Boeing. Only one left, see it while you can

Powers was shot down because his U-2 broke and the SAM caught him below 60,000 I know what Wiki said as I have seen it. |

Sig may be right about the nuclear tipped SAM's. Hopefully the heathen russkies were not EMP hardened. |
