The authors consider a general rational curve of minimal degree on a uniruled projective variety and prove that such curve through a general point is uniquely determined by its tangent vector. They also obtain that for any uniruled projective manifold and a minimal component, the normalization of the variety of minimal rational tangents at a general point is smooth. An application to the rigidity of generically finite morphisms to Fano manifolds of Picard number 1 is given.
