Now, the #1 quote overheard in the ICBM program…
1) “If DOE were in charge of loading Minuteman into the silos, you would have a 300 foot tall, tornado-proof, seismic-reinforced, aircraft-deflective, dust-explosion-proof, mosquito-resistant, wildlife-friendly, Faraday cage above the Transporter-Erector that was built by the lowest bidder to allow the missile to be lowered at a rate of no-more-than one millimeter per week. This would be backed up by an OSHA/EPA/SPCA/DNFSB/NNSA/CIA/AFLCIO/NOW approved hydraulic lift with safety net at the bottom of the hole, just in case. America would then be able to load OR unload one missile every three years unless there was a labor dispute or paperwork error.”
