Russian Missiles.

Slashdot has an interesting report about the Russians using their SS-18 ICBM's to fly communications satellites into orbit. Base10 finds this amazing. Just a few short years ago these missiles were pointing toward targets in the US and Western Europe, and they were carrying hydrogen bombs, not GPS satellites. Ironically, the missiles in question go by the moniker "SS-18 Satan." Maybe their not so devilish after all.
