  • Decommissioned Atlas-D ICBM Launch Complex

    Scattered throughout the rolling grasslands of America are many historic forgotten sites from the Cold War. ICBM development during 50s and 60s was quick with breakneck iterations of designs so these launch facilities were often obsolete by the time they were completed and put into service.

  • Decommissioned Atlas-D Coffin launch Bunker

    Somewhere north of Cheyenne Wyoming monolithic remains of the Cold War still stand.

  • Manhattan Project National Historical Park

    In Los Alamos New Mexico you can find this memorial of Dr. Oppenheimer & Gen. Groves. It’s about a block away from Oppenheimer’s Manhattan Project home. The whole block is maintained by the National Parks Service as a National Historical Park.

    I have a strong interest in our atomic history and Cold War so I have visited Los Alamos many times through the years. The Oppenheimer movie has noticeably made the mesa and surrounding area more popular.
