点评:As Brits we were informed in the early 1980s about a government public information campaign called "protect and survive" on how to survive a nuclear war (e.g. building a fall-out shelter in your home) which would have been used in the event of a nuclear war. As part of generation X (just a teenager at the time) this scared me!
This small museum was fascinating although I already knew much of the history, especially from a UK perspective, but I was unaware of the extent of the nuclear deterrent (the number of silos) in the US. My Dad and I were unable to get on a tour of the launch control center, which was disappointing, but we looked at the silo and were very grateful the Americans were on our (the British) side!
The staff were very helpful and the small gift shop had a good range of souvenirs and books. Overall one of the highlights of our road trip.
翻译:作为英国人,我们在20世纪80年代初得知了一项名为“保护与生存”的政府公共信息宣传活动,该活动旨在指导如何在核战争中生存(例如,在家中建造一个防辐射掩体),以便在核战争爆发时使用。作为X一代(当时还只是十几岁的青少年),这让我感到害怕!
这个小型博物馆引人入胜,虽然我已经了解了很多历史,尤其是从英国人的角度来看,但我当时并不知道美国的核威慑力量(发射井的数量)有多么强大。我和爸爸没能参观发射控制中心,这很令人失望,但我们参观了发射井,非常感激美国人站在我们(英国)这边!
工作人员非常乐于助人,小礼品店里有各种各样的纪念品和书籍。总而言之,这是我们公路旅行的亮点之一。
