A massive missile takes off into the blue sky, surrounded by clouds, on a sunny day in 2009. Three people, sporting hats and handbags, watch in amazement as the powerful projectile becomes airborne. This machine is not just a tool or a vehicle, it is a weapon of great destruction, loaded with ammunition and ready to embark on its mission. The rocket's wheels spin wildly as it soars through the sky, leaving behind a trail of smoke and a blazing flare of light.
