The 368th and final Titan rocket was launched this morning from Vandenburg Air Force Base in California. Once the backbone of the US space program and a mainstay of the Cold War ICBM fleet, the Titan is being replaced by cheaper boosters. The final payload is secret, launched for the National Reconnaissance Office, which oversees the nation's spy satellites.
