Nuclear War!

So this:


is what a nuclear missile silo looks like. There's a nuke under there, probably pointed at Iran or something. That big white, pointy thing, that kinda looks like a mini-Washington Monument, that is a super-powerful antenna that can apparently get through the electromagnetic pulse that is emitted when the missile is launched. And apparently, you can walk right up to it. To them, in fact, as there are at least 11 in this small area in northeastern Colorado.

I can't decide whether to be disappointed that there are no guards with M-16s mulling around or at least mutant dobermans or something... or if I should feel safe because if, in the US, just anybody can walk up to these things and take pictures, that means we're pretty confident in our national security. Though I feel bad for all the farmers who would get cancer and die should we feel the need to actually fire one of these things.

But that's pretty cool, I think!
