Abstract
The signing of an INF arms control treaty in 1987 and the reduction in East-West tension has resulted in a surplus of missiles. Getting rid of them remains a problem, but two distinct initiatives have been advanced in the USA and the USSR for their conversion into low-cost launchers. The author describes these two initiatives and discusses the political and economic issues they raise before speculating on the likelihood of their achievement.
