Actually the Titan in Tuscon is slightly famous. Parts of a Star Trek
movie were filmed there. It is the one where Picard and crew chased the
Borg back in time to allow the first Warp travel flight.
It is a bit strange to think that a vehicle like the one there might have
caused so much distruction but remember the Titan also flew the Gemini
spacecraft in the 60's advancing the knowledge of manned spaceflight.
