Hello, Being fortunate to have worked for a short time on a part of the Titan IV program, I can say that this will later be shown to be a mistake. Some day in the future some "expert" individual or panel will come to say that we "need" the heavy-lift capability that the Titan program gives us. I remember after the Saturn 5 capability was lost that "experts" later said "We need the Saturn 5", well, that program cancellation was yet another mistake. I say we keep that capability in place. Rather than limit our options, we should build on them, retaining capability while evolving. This latest generation of experts who feel that smaller satellites are the way to go are in vogue now, but will they be in 5 years?
