You may know this already, but Vernor Vinge did a neat short story where an aged Sprint missile (or something very similar) plays an important role: "The Whirligig of Time".

Vernor Vinge. Best Sci-fi story I ever read that made me feel the VASTNESS of space was written by him: A Fire Upon The Deep.

I'm not sure I'd give it the title of the Best scifi story, but it's definitely very good, so I'll at least second the recommendation.

I did qualify my "Best" recommendation.

Fair enough - I read too quickly. I think I may have subconsciously inserted an "and" in place of "that".
