Nice interview. I agree with Jake's insights.

My father, a Civil Engineer employed by the Air Force (and WW2 vet) built the very first group of ICBM missile launch and control pads. Huge concrete reinforced silos, one for the missile and one for the control group, with an underground tunnel connecting. These were the 'old' birds, Atlas liquid filled (empty in the silo which had two fuel tanks inside). Filled while elevating they reached launch position then the heavy steel blast doors dropped closed underneath and they were ready to fire off and rise on their path to target. The Control area (which I got to tour, along with an empty, completed missile silo) had two control panels with crypto access, the go code display and inputs to verify it was read and verified. Each officer (there were only two in the control silo) had his own launch Key on a chain and between the two launch/crypto positions was a heavy steel wall with an armored window that allowed both operators to see each other. It also allowed themto coordinate the key turn at the same time. Simple and it worked but was never done. The 13 concrete silo pairs lasted about two years after completion as solid fueled missles took over (safer, faster launch, more missiles in one silo complex, etc). The local farmers who'd sold land to the Air Force to build the silos were given sweetheart deals to buy them back with the twin concrete silos untouched, except for key equipment that was removed. Some saw this as a unique opportunity (its America) and one i talked to made his into a hotel of sorts. I told him who i was and my father's role in making his hotel and he gifted me a free night. Cooled naturally, with a swimming area kept clean with a standard pool filter and chlorination system, as the ground water was normally pumped out as it seeped in. He never worries when things seem close to going nuclear. :)
