It is an active shield volcano with relatively gentle slopes, with a volume estimated at approximately 18,000 cubic miles (75,000 km 3), although its peak is about 120 feet (37 m) lower than that of its neighbor, Mauna Kea. Lava eruptions from Mauna Loa are silica-poor and very fluid, and they tend to be non-explosive.
The cost of procuring a Minuteman missile (the flyaway cost) was $4.84 million (FY 77) or $7.88 million if other program costs are pro-rated ($2.63 million per deployed warhead, not counting the actual warhead cost).
The NRA even sent me a neato statue of a minuteman soldier that was cast in China as a token of their appreciation. It holds a glorified place in a closet somewhere in my house. I wasn't aware that they took the deal away. You might want to call them and ask for a lifetime membership for $300.
