Ronald Reagan Minuteman Missile State Historic Site

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:51:23

North Dakota still has underground nuclear missiles waiting for launch orders, however many more have been deactivated because of treaty agreements with the Russians. This site includes an underground command center from where missiles were launched. Visits are by tour. A nearby missile silo is actually more eerie. Often unattended, you can ponder the doors that hid a rocket with over 500 kilotons of nuclear explosive power.
