Read an article years ago that missile crews immediately figured out how to do a one man launch; duct tape, string, a pen, pencil, fork, spoon, etc.

The brass were said to be unhappy the hack was made public, lol.

Kind of fake article. I spent the AF part of my career as a missile officer. There was only one method that I know of and that is because I stumbled on it while writing a training scenario in the simulator. It involved a series of tech order procedures which I verified would work through our tech engineers. It could have been shut down because of the time it would take the system to actually initiate a launch. Immediate changes were made to the Tech Order procedures to preclude it from ever happening.
