wanabc: These pictures were taken at the Titan II Museum in Green Valley, Arizona. They hold public tours of the silo with some special events which lets you go pretty far behind the scenes.

DID it really MATTER? During the COLD WAR it was USE ’em or LOSE ’em, once these missles launched the crews jobs were done, only thing left was to go home…oh ohhhhhhh, no home to go to because the SOVIETS ICBM’s of that era targeted the bases and it was all a matter of time till MAD took over……….
