Titan missile silo for sale
September 27, 2007 12:07am
They were selling a Titan 1 missle silo complex in Denver near DIA in 1999 for around 150-250k. The Titan 2 silo is quite snug by comparison and can be toured in Arizona. The Titan 1 complexes were monsters of Dr. Strangelovian proportions.
I did some research on the one for sale in Colorado, and the largest problems with them were the residual toxins associated with the fuels and other chemicals found in use by the early missle programs of the day. They required clean-up by the military so the good news is you wouldn't be on the fiscal hook for said clean-up.
"When" the clean-up would be completed was a - big - variable at the time. On another good note, the one in Colorado - if it's still for sale - was connected to the grid meaning it had available power for refurbishment.
Just the place to survive X-atmospheres of overpressure from a 1 megaton nuclear strike and still get satelite TV from your own raised tracking array. Once the background surface radiation clears, you're free to move about the remainder of the country.
(Note: offer of survivability does not extend to Titan 2 silos. All but one - perhaps 2 - were dismantled by treaty. That and their long-term survivability (air) options were drastically reduced).
NASA could use a better slogan. Got one?
