My dad was a SAC Missile Man outside of Little Rock at the time. His stories were hair raising about that short few days. During the height of tensions someone at NASA launched a primitive satellite going up the east coast. He said we almost did ourselves in on that one considering it looked as if this thing was heading toward DC. He also said they were constantly receiving spool up codes and then having to "Stand Down" orders. He told me that he was never so glad to get out of a hole in his whole life.
