If you happen to visit Badlands National Park, or western South Dakota in general, make time to visit the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site mentioned in the article. I toured Delta-01 last summer, and it was fascinating. The tour guide did a fantastic job of conveying the gravity of the mission and just how scary the Cold War was.

The guy had internalized that bureaucracy over his entire career, and wanted to explain in in painstaking detail. The underground control center was amazing though.
