On the TV news, I saw a Lance missile followed by film of a missile being
launched.  The missile rotated in flight.  I'm wondering if this could
have been a Lance, or whether they just spliced together some random
footage of a missile taking off.  (The Lance has fins, so I would not
expect it to spin.)

On the same subject, does the Lance have guidance, or is it just a 
point-and-shoot type weapon?  (The fins appear to be attached just prior
to launching, so I doubt they are controlled by a guidance mechanism.)
How big a warhead does it have?
