Current desktop shot. Hooray minimalism in icons! This is a shot of my laptop's current layout. Picture was taken by me at the Titan II Missile Museum about 15-20 miles outside of Tucson, AZ.
And yeah, it's even more awesome when you see it in person.

Nope. According to the government, this is the last remaining Titan II in the world -- all the others have been launched, mostly in the 90s and early 2000s to put "weather" sattellites (sp?) into orbit. This one was built as a training piece, to familiarize operations crews with its mechanical functioning; it was never loaded with any propellant or a warhead, and so the government deemed it capable of becoming a museum piece.
The Titan II Missile Museum is also the last remaining intact Titan II launch site of the 54 that were spread through the US; all the others had their payload removed and the silo was dynamited shut. The access tunnel and control centers are still there, and you can buy them from the government, if you've got a cool $1mil to spare.
Note to self: I know where my first million is going...
