Cool. The IT security for the Federal Government is still on 8-inch floppy disks.

The article is total trash and an uninformed lie.

The eight inch floppies do not have anything to do with the command and control of the missiles. They are used as data dumps for the crew logs and missile status reports. They have no ability to download any form of data into the computers that control the capsule and missiles.

I’m not about to argue with you. I choose not to believe you.

Carry on.
