They were not just any floppy but actually 8" floppies that the minuteman missiles used. I've been heavily involved with computers since the mid 80s and I've never even touched one of those 8". I've seen one in a museum that's all. They were just a bigger version of the 5 1/4" floppy which I used loads and I still have most of them (and USB hardware to read them, the greaseweazle). But by the time the commodore 64 and the pc came on the scene the 8" was already obsolete. So much so that I've never seen them in the shop even back then. I know some US home computers used them, like the IMSAI which featured in WarGames (nice tie-in with this post). But really, those 8"'ers are old.
