What policies is the US exercising that makes us us sooooo scared. Do we have the courage to look at it this way ? What about the concepts of doing clean business with other countries. Does world piece means anything ??? Just Asking

My grandfather Died in 1964 (nov, 22) Nebraska City. He manned ICBM's as a Captain in the Airforce. He was 32 y/o with 6 children at home. He was a veteran of the conflict in Korea in the Army, and based on the little bit I know, he was a true war hero. He loved this country, but he also tried to save his own life, before the crash that killed him, he knew flying into those bases in small STOL aircraft was highly dangerous and unnecessary. I read for myself a hand typed letter he wrote to his command about alternatives. But he was so patriotic he followed the orders that eventually killed him. I have always wondered why the AFB in Lincoln, NE was closed after only 6 years in operation. My grandmother never remarried, and couldn't talk much about my grandfather, all she ever told us was he was tattooed in Korea, and when he tried to go back into the Airforce he used acid to melt the tattoos off his arms.

This was absolutely amazing, and I was a Security Police Officer stationed at a missile base in MT. For most in my career field, Missile duty was almost guaranteed to be an Airman's first assignment as we had little choice and they needed younger airmen to man the positions. In the Air force, missile duty is known to be the worst duty, at the worst bases, in the worst conditions. Most airmen are "promised" better bases and duty.....AFTER you do your time at a missile base and that was generally true. If missile security went down, us Cops would either have to helicopter out, or drive out in a camper and stay for days if not WEEKS until they fix the problem. We just sat in the truck, looking out over the tree-less horizon. This was back when we didn't have cell phones so you can imagine the boredom. Then after all that, you go back to a very boring base with few amenities and wait for the call to go back to the missile field. I can def understand the current morale problem but I would think the bases have to be better than what I had to go to back in the day.

The jets together were certainly our bombers heading home or across the drink, unfortunately we are at war. Can't tell which direction they were flying from video. As for the bird, as a kid in East Texas I used to watch the thunderstorms build and when you were on the West side looking to the storms in the East you would see groups of large birds circling really high up in the updraft on the backside of the storm, and they were massive enough to see from 20 miles. Later in life in Texas I would look for the same birds I saw 40yrs prior but never saw them again. It would be nice to know whatever they were they are still around?

I was stationed there for 3 years in the early 2000s as a civil structural engineer. For the enlisted they would set you up on the test and you could take it as many times as you needed to pass. This was going on when I was there. We never passed inspections and nothing ever happened. These missile bases are known as burner based. The troops get burnt out having nothing but there duty. You are in the middle of no where. They have the highest discharge rates in the armed services. Also on the enlisted side you can get stuck at one of these bases as a missiler for 5-10years because it’s hard to fully train a replacement before they get out and don’t re-up. It’s one of the worst long term assignments in the AF.

I'd like to see an update on the satellite part now that we have Space Force and other technologies like starlink.

Starlink was funded by the DoD. There’s numerous reasons: latency, redundancy, and just plain research. Starlink is particularly vulnerable because the satellites are in a very low earth orbit. They’re easy to hit but there’s the maneuverability the satellites are supposed to have, coupled with the sheer number of Starlink satellites, makes them a different type of target from our regular GPS and geosynchronous satellites. Which were thought to be much harder to hit than satellites in LEO. The Chinese and Russians are building their own versions of the GPS systems, to varying degrees of success.

@@dongately2817 SL SATs are also relatively small, and fast, which I imagine make them harder targets to hit. Makes sense that they were funded at least in part by DoD.

It also means you do a lot of studying. I feel confident in this man. #Respect Awesome incredible attitude. Thank You Sir.

Really amazing to think that just a few hundred years ago we didn’t even have electricity, and now man has created amazing technology.

Awesome!

I very much doubt these are the only ICBM silos. For sure there are silos in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Alaska at the very least, as not having them would be giving away a huge strategic advantage.

This should make every us citizen LOVE THIS COUNTRY FOREVER AND I THANK ALL MILITARY BRANCHES FOR SURE!!!

@38:28 YA wake up call for sure. Great visualization.

Even more scary than these weapons, is knowing who is in charge of launching them at this moment in time.

I like how they said they can "maybe" maneuver it out of the way, which in reality the answer to that question is no. It takes less than 5-6 minutes for an earth based missile to reach a satellite, those satellites don't have rocket engines that they could use to move it at high speed, all they have are small chemical thrusters for small maneuvers. By the time they detected the launch and determined what they were targeting that satellite would be nothing more than a big cloud of debris.

I was very excited to see Eric Schlosser appear as a guest. I have read Command and Control a few times and its truly fascinating. Schlosser did an outstanding job compiling the history of nukes and missiles through the US’s development of said missiles

You should watch a movie narrated by William Shatner titled "Trinity & Beyond". A very good look at the history and development of first generation nuclear weapons and thermonuclear weapons after that with remastered footage of many of the early tests. The story around Castle Bravo was especially interesting.

Watching the missileer officers gives me an incredible sense of pride and confidence in the future of America. Thank you for your service.

Thank God we still have those. I hope the men and women occupying those silos will defend us at all costs

It's actually comforting to know that the systems are analog, and they use floppy disc. no way to hack a typewriter right. I would agree that out of the three deployment platforms the land-based missiles seem a little outdated in this day and time. There are probably that many more missiles in space that we know nothing of that are ready to fire as well.; I could see doing away with the titan threes, that way they wouldn't have the problems that the enlisted folks go through to deal with.

I parked on a public street, across from the entry to the China Lake AFB in Ridgecrest, California. I took some photos of the jet planes exhibited at the base entry, never setting a foot on the base. Two guys in a pickup drove up, got out, and each was loaded down with more tactical equipment I've ever seen on a person. The questioned why I was taking photos. Nice guys, but don't put jets in public if you don't want people taking photos of them.

Awesome 👍

This is from a decade ago. Would be great to have an update. Has that door been fixed yet, for God's sake?! Have we figured out how to replace a frayed phone cord?

So funny. That we show this. Makes me proud because I know that’s our old stuff

Very interesting. I've known a little bit about all that was presented on this show. My dad worked on the Atlas, and later, the minute man missile system. It goes all the way back to 1962. He always said that all those science fiction movies depicting all out war in space all had a little bit of truth tied to it.

@@Ganttura1 well, honestly, that's the philosophy of "Mutually Assured Destruction" (MAD), that NO NUCLEAR ARMED nation would launch a nuclear weapon, because the instigator of an attack assures THEY would be destroyed as well, in sense, it is an insane act of war.

We have lot of hidden missle sites in western Nebraska that the F.E. Warren AFB Air Force base near Cheyenne Wyoming takes care of. They even have a mini base that looks like a farm just north of my hometown Sidney Nebraska they are stationed at. They have bunkers that go 6 stories underground that control the missles in western Nebraska.

I have been inside one of those control centers as a boyscout.
