As a kid growing up in SW Oklahoma, pretty close to Altus AFB, I saw quite a few of the Atlas Missile Silos. I vividly remember seeing the missiles up and out of the silos, it's still sobering to realize each had a nuke onboard, and the guard had authority to shoot to kill anyone approaching who was not authorized. They're all decommissioned now, of course, but if you want to you can take a day trip and drive up to most of them. I have walked across some of them. A year or 2 ago, our local Costco had a book about the Titan Missiles in Oklahoma, very interesting.
Yep, those days are gone for any and everything in our whole country.

Every once in awhile I see that a nonoperational, old missile silo is for sale. That would be one safe house, people have converted them into a home.
