Mil Hist B-class Commentary
Looks good for a B-class article. I assessed coverage as "yes", because it looks covered and I'm taking in good faith it is, though I admit I am no authority on the history of ballistic missiles. I would suggest some sentence to wrap it up at the end, like, "With the success of the final test, the innovations of the Bold Orion were implemented in the next missile..." or something. Roger out.

1. weapins. Change to weapons.
Done
2. USAF's. Suggest - Changing USAF to United States Air Force, as some people might not understand that acronym
- I added a clarification of the acronym after where the full name is given on the line above.
3. change the Bibliography so that it is in alphabetical order.
Done

What country is this anyway?
It appears that this article has a minor case of UK English, e.g., "authorisation." As this is an American weapons system, designed, built, and tested in the United States, why is UK English even being contemplated for use here? It's bad enough seeing it in the ISS article but here there can't even be a remote excuse for it.
