I wonder why it is coming back now.
Why is the military moving back into base deep under the Rocky Mountains?
Obama ?
That seems a little on the small side to me. Is the cavern into the complex a half acre wide and the complex itself still yet larger?
I suspect that it is a whole lot larger than this.
I’m not sure what they thought they were gaining by moving out of there in the first place.
But, good to see that NORAD is content that Obama has made the world a safer place. Yep, they appear completely content with the Russian reset. They seem to be not at all worried about the Iranians or North Koreans firing an EMP device from a container ship. Whew, now I can sit back and relax knowing that the government will secure the borders, protect me and take care of me.
Certainly not because Iran has said time and time again that they’re not trying to build high yield nukes but one they could use as an EMP over America.
And you could probably do that with a small number of centrifuges too...
Why don’t we ask Col Jack O’neill or Major Carter....or General Hammond, or T’ealc or Daniel Jackson...their cover got exposed in a show called Wormhole Extreme!
Because the idiot which was elected by a coalition of idiocy and evil, has now made it far more likely that nuclear weapons will hit American soil.
May his name be cursed forever.
Recent declassification of EMP studies by the U.S. government has begun to draw attention to this dire threat. Rogue nations such as North Korea (and possibly Iran) will soon match Russia and China and have the primary ingredients for an EMP attack: simple ballistic missiles such as Scuds that could be launched from a freighter near our shores; space-launch vehicles able to loft low-earth-orbit satellites; and simple low-yield nuclear weapons that can generate gamma rays and fireballs.

Because we have a dumbass, chickenshirt President and we are in big danger.
Cold War version 2.0.
Maybe a sequel to “War Games”?
Maybe this is because there are funds to remodel a facility but none to build a new building and the other facilities at Peterson, Buckley, and Schriever are full? They really could downsize the space programs. Few Air Force do much of anything other than babysit contractors with the contractors doing all the work.
On August 6, 2013, news broke that the commander of Air Force Space Command (AFSPC), General William Shelton, had ordered the shutdown of the Air Force Space Surveillance System (AFSSS) by the beginning of the new fiscal year on October 1. This article aims to shed some light on the technical, budgetary, and political considerations behind the decision to shut down the AFSSS. The loss of the AFSSS is not likely to have a significant impact on the accuracy of objects in the existing satellite catalog or the ability of the US military to track medium to large size objects in orbit.
The real impact will be the loss of the AFSSS’s ability to do uncued detection of breakups and maneuvers across a huge area of Earth orbit and act as a “trip wire” to warn about events in space.
Thus, the shutdown of the AFSSS is more likely to negatively impact broad area surveillance aspect of space situational awareness (SSA) than the tracking accuracy aspect of space surveillance.
Psssst! Don’t tell Obama.....
StarGate soon to be real?
Its a hell of a lot bigger than a half acre !
It gives me an ominous feeling to read this after just reading the announcement about; “U.S. Military Prepares Martial Law Drills called Operation Jade Helm” in many U.S. cities. My city is included in this operation.
