Its a mystery to me why most of the wealthy have the worlds worst taste in architecture, but then again anyone who considers it of utmost importance to impress the shallow public by showing off their capacity for indulging in overblown senseless consumption can’t possibly be an artist, only a fool would care what the superficial public thinks about their money. There would be no hideously conventional mansion to offend the eye of all who pass. I could have a large nature reserve up top not marred by any buildings, this would make the surface of my estate all “yard”, or I could have a farm to produce my own food, gardens and the like. Think of how cool and quiet it would be down there deep in the underground. Earth quakes are not the problem most people think they would be, waves break on the “shore” which for an earth quake wave is the upper surface, underground these waves have little effect which is how caves can last millions of years. Were I wealthy this is exactly what I’d do, especially since that apocalypse that was mentioned might still be a possibility.

When this missile silo was decommissioned, the Air Force dropped a bunch of broken concrete down the access shaft, tore down the top 10 or so feet of the access tunnel, and generally made a huge mess of the place. has been working on this project for a half-decade now, and what’s been shown so far is impressive. In its prime, this missile silo held a single Titan II, pointed at a target over the pole, a three-story access tunnel, and a hardened command and control pod capable of keeping a few airmen alive after the apocalypse. He ended up with a Titan II missile silo that was decommissioned in spring of 1986. In 2010, the creator of this channel decided to buy a missile silo. How do you buy a missile silo? How do you re-commission it and turn it into livable space? Is it even possible to get a bank to sign onto this? All these questions and more are being answered by a relatively new YouTube channel.
