My father was involved in the Thor and Minuteman programs, and we lived on one of he main bases for Minuteman in the Midwest. Silos were out in the country, in a farm field or pasture, but ever saw one near a house. All you could see was a fenced in area with a few bits and pieces of sensor and comm equipment. The silo was all underground. You may recall seeing footage of two officers both turning their launch keys at the same time. I've actually been in one of those control rooms. Dad was, at one time, the Training Officer for one of the squadrons.
