00:00The two-story control center connects to the silo by way of a strategically designed tunnel.
00:07I'm a little nervous. What is this room for?
00:10Well, you should be. We're almost 40 feet underground.
00:13This room is simply nothing more than a connecting tunnel.
00:18Corrugated steel wrapped in neoprene rubber.
00:21So how does that protect us if it's just corrugated steel?
00:24At the end of the day, you would hope this would collapse before anything occurred in the launch control.
00:29It's made to collapse.
00:30Gotcha.
00:31It seems claustrophobic.
00:32I mean, it's...
00:33But it's cozy for you.
00:34Yes.
00:35Yeah.
00:36Yes.
00:37A little tight for me.
00:38Let's see the next room.
00:40The tunnel leads to the silo that descends 186 feet or about eight stories down into the earth.
00:46Wow.
00:47It's overwhelming.
00:49Yeah, yeah. It's just...
00:50Oh, it is.
00:51It's overwhelming.
00:53If we look up, we can see the two original silo doors above our heads.
00:59And this is a place that you would explore.
01:01Absolutely.
01:02As a child.
01:03And you got in.
01:04Oh, absolutely, because they were wide open.
01:07Nothing was posted.
01:08You're kidding me.
01:09No, absolutely not.
01:11The doors, this entire structure was wide open.
01:14Nothing was posted.
01:15And no one got hurt?
01:16No one fell ever?
01:18None.
