The Missile Knows Where It Is

The Missile Knows Where It Is is a copypasta transcribed from a December 1997 Association of Air Force Missileers article explaining inertial guidance in deliberately circular prose: the missile compares where it is to where it isn't, generates corrective commands, and arrives where it wasn't. The text circulated on University of Wyoming mirror pages by 2003 and became a YouTube audio meme by 2007.

Reddit's r/copypasta posted the full text in September 2016; Krasniye's Still D.R.E. remix (March 2017) remains a reference track. Twitch media-share revived the fad on Asmongold's stream in January 2019. Know Your Meme lists 745,000+ entry views and a sub-entry for 2020s AI-voice "missile is eepy" variants.

themissileknows.com can publish the canonical copypasta with paragraph breaks for readability, link to the 1997 PDF source, and host a remix gallery crediting Krasniye-style Still D.R.E. edits without re-uploading copyrighted instrumentals.
