Talk:Missile silo

A sign in one ICBM control room read something like:

We guaranteed delivery to anywhere in the world in 30 minutes or less or the next one's free.

Hmm... Not a stub, and without any sections... This needs some cleanup. 66.241.90.212 (talk) 06:20, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

History of missile silos
Article claims these first appeared in 1960's or something but i would say that is pretty incorrect, and that missile silos were first dreamt up in the 1940's with the german missile bunkers in france for V-2's. True, because number of reasons these never went operational, but the general idea was there.

 * The V2 sites (such as at Watten) were more underground launch complexes rather than silos. A silo houses one missile and is self-contained. The term itself come from its similarity to grain silos. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.251.36 (talk) 19:36, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
