I hope they managed to reestablish communications without having to resort to talking to the bombs about phenomenology.

Been a very long time since there's been much open discussion regarding the mental power of the missile systems.
Hmm!

The computer failure appears to be linked to problem with an underground communications cable. Engineers are focusing on a piece of equipment in the launch control center that has been the subject of unspecified communications problems in the past, one of the officials said.
It replaces the equipment or it becomes an E1.

One of them could have come back online thinking it was God.

Three days, WTF???!!! It's based on "need to know". The US military is smart enough to know that Odumbo wouldn't even be able to process the info in his pea brain. Besides, what's the clueless moron gonna do about it anyway?

The bearded guy on the right is Dan O’Bannon.
He is the guy who wrote the initial overall script for “Alien”.
