Interesting bit of history for me! My grandfather was one of the electricians who were first there to help get NORAD all wired up!

That’s nuts, I bet there’s at least 512 mb of storage!

I used to work on one of the peaks of Cheyenne mountain. We considered NORAD to be our neighbor. I was never sure if any of the visible antennas were part of their system, but it was a neat view every day.
God, seems like just yesterday we threw out those chairs and furniture at base.

Man, we used to do things, huh. Now we are just a glorified casino for pedophiles.

Why is Nixon in that last picture? In 1966, he was not in office, and pretty much considered out of politics and a failure. After losing to JFK in ‘60, he lost the ‘62 CA gubernatorial election too. He did do some campaigning for Republican candidates in the midterms, but that was about it. Even going in to the ‘68 primaries, he was considered 4th choice behind Ronald Reagan (then governor of CA, succeeding where Nixon failed), Nelson Rockefeller (then governor of NY, who became Ford’s VP), and George Romney (then governor of MI, Mitt’s dad) until he went full-on racist and got The South who left the Democrats after the Civil Rights bills to follow him (The Southern Strategy).
According to Kissinger – 2 to the right of Nixon – the two of them didn’t meet until ‘67, and had been a full-on Rockefeller guy and actually had some pretty bad things to say about Nixon through the summer of ‘68, until after Nixon won the ‘68 nomination and Nixon’s people offered him a position and power.

I was stationed there right after 9-11…special assignment for 6 months while in the AF reserves…I roamed around a bit and was NOT able to find the Star Gate.

Weirdest building I’ve ever been in. None of these photos quite capture the scale of the place.

I got to tour NORAD when I was stationed at Ft Carson and it was crazy to see the doors that seal NORAD (when needed). They were MASSIVE I’m talking 50 ft tall and 15 ft thick (slight exaggeration but still). Everything inside was interesting but really only because you were inside the mountain at that point. It was very industrial.

Been in the one in Northern Canada a couple times. Was pretty cool.

There are a couple if Websites documenting these old missile silos. Particularly, the Titan I silos are whole underground cities. Very impressive.

Wonder how obsolete it may be today, if it even is.

Yea cool yet it took them a fucking week to figure out what a ballon was .
It’s great if you can detect crazy high end shit and missile launches and jets across the world cool but who forgot about the low tech shit that can be used on us or against us?
Also I’ve had this idea for a while
Feel free to pay me Military industrial complex
Why don’t Air Force’s launch thousands and thousands of aluminum foil balloons in the sky before flying in with expensive ass jets
It would destroy enemy radars and light there screens like wild
Even smarter ?
Why not release tens of thousands of foil balloons shaped like UAVs and drones ?
Super cheap and cost effective means of drowning out radar screens
And having the enemy actively try and attack your foil balloon drones wasting there resources

I worked in North Bay directly after the ‘decommisioning’ of the UGC. I was down a few times, tracing cables for systems troubleshooting. If you get a chance, try to get on the roof. I found it the most interesting! Also, trying to tone out cut cables down there was… I understand the mushroom thing now.
