Remember the Cold War? Lots of money spent on defense. Here's a strange one in ND. It cost $6,000,000,000, but it kept us safe while it was in operation. How long was it in operation? Three days. That works out to $2,000,000,000 a day.

Continue down toward the bottom of the page, and will see a similar one in England.

The billions wasted - which committee signed off on this debacle? The rebar and concrete wasted...at least the Egyptians were smart; used interstellar aliens to build the pyramids - no union contractors used. Egyptian pound hadn't been invented yet!

I hope this stuff ain't still classified, because I have no desire at my age to go to Leavenworth, KS for any reason. I was USAF. The pyramid in NDAK were active a lot longer that what was said here - and there were more of them, although several were destroyed, I know where at least two (in the CONUS) are still standing but terrifically weathered and run down. Another good post! :thumbup:

I've seen where some people have moved into the old missile silos and made them into homes.
