The President who promoted the development of the cruise missile was Jimmy Carter. He believed the cruise missile was better than the B-1 bomber. After he left office, Ronald Reagan changed the cruise missile back to the B-1 bombers.

The standard term for a missile chamber (be it a ballistic missile, vertical launch cruise missile, torpedo, etc.) is simply a tube - straight and to the point.
Lots and lots. ICBMs and IRBMs are both types, as well as a wide range of anti-ship missiles, land attack cruise missiles, and other more eccentric varieties.
No, and saying it is would be an asinine and absurd statement. A cruise missile is a guided precision weapons system, intended to deliver a warhead to a target.
A cruise missile is not a sperm cell.
No, it is a manned bomber.
Jimmy Carter favored the cruise missile over the Rockwell B-1 bomber.Jimmy Carter felt that the cruise missile (derived from the German WW2 V-1) was better than the B-1 bomber, so he cancelled the B-1. Ronald Regan brought back the B-1B, and there are positives and negatives about the B-1B bomber (Combat Lancer), and the tomahawk and cruise missile. They are both good ideas.
The speed of a cruise missile can vary depending on the type and model, but generally, they can travel at speeds ranging from subsonic (less than the speed of sound) to supersonic (faster than the speed of sound). Some cruise missiles can travel at speeds exceeding 600 mph.
