I used to play around in a Titan silo as kid. It was a lot of fun. It felt like we were a
million miles underground sometimes. What did they use for guidance computers ?

Eariler ICBMs such as the Atlas and Titan I had to be fueled
immediately prior to launch. The Titan II used storable liquid
propellants, but they were highly corrosive, which led to problems.
The Titan IIs had a reasonably long lifetime, into the 80s, but
the others were only briefly.
