Thats the one all the geeks from Columbia Internet were living in right?
On the other hand, I guess that's the purpose for the 47-ton garage door.

I, on the other hand, would pay extra to make sure that everyone knew which silo it was that no longer held an ICBM.
Especially the people who might have loaded silos of their own.
