The Titan Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) was the largest silo based missile produced by the United States. These liquid fueled missiles were on around the clock operational status during the Cold War years. The Titan II missiles were deployed in three wings (of eighteen missiles each) in silos at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona; McConnell AFB, Kansas, and at Little Rock AFB in Arkansas. Titan Il had an estimated firing time of under one minute from the eight story deep silo. The silo was protected by a 740 ton "silo closure door" that could be rolled away in less than twenty seconds.

New UOW Sciences Teaching Building on the Main Campus.State of the art teaching facility for students.
Artist Nino “Tsel One” Rodriguez, based out of Chicago, works on an interpretive mural for the University of Missouri - St. Louis Psychological Science Department. The mural, located on the third floor of Stadler Hall, is packed with symbols and representations of the department’s various disciplines. The department is also mourning the loss of their colleague, Dr. Bettina Casad. She (and her work) is represented in many places in the mural: by the EQUITY branches of the tree (due to her major work related to equity in STEM), by the bench with a dog (she was active in the rescue dog movement), and by the book with her initials and glasses nearby.

I saved a whole day of my trip to explore the SSTM science museum. And then, it was closed on Monday. You have NO IDEA how sad I was.
So, I took my full pack, everything I was taking back to North America on the plane with me on Tuesday afternoon, brought it to the museum RIGHT WHEN IT OPENED on Tuesday morning, and did the museum before my flight home.

Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture’s design for the Powerhouse Science Center re-envisions a historic riverfront structure as a hub for science education, exploration and promotion in the City of Sacramento. On the banks of the Sacramento River, the Science Center grows out from an abandoned power station building. As a principal component of the Riverfront activation, the Powerhouse Science Center anchors Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park and borders the southern terminus of the 32-mile American River Bike Trail.
Vacant for over half a century, the structure undergoes a complete historic rehabilitation and the construction of a new floor level inside. A new two-story addition projects from the east side, containing a lobby, classrooms, offices and a cafe. A 110-seat planetarium is prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass. As representation of our place in the universe, the facade and building mass is sectioned by multiple planes, creating continuous vector lines that extend across the building and site. From satellites to world landmarks, the lines form connections with local and global points of interest.
The original PG&E Power Station B was designed in 1912 in the Beaux Arts Style by architect Willis Polk and was formally closed in 1954. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Places and the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources. The Powerhouse Science Center is designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Rating of Silver.
