Filming this was a blast! It's great to be back making videos
-
this absolute chad comes back after half a year just to tell us how to launch a nuke
-
Thanks! Now I know how to launch if I’m ever visiting a missile silo.
-
Why has this man not aged in 7 years?
-
The Butterfly Valve Lock code saying "URDEAD" is a nice touch
-
This channel is ridiculously underrated. How can someone produce such quality content and only have around 200k subscribers?
-
James Dingley is the 21st century's answer to James Burke. The presentation style is so similar. I still find it hard to believe this is an independent production and not financed by the BBC. It's genuinely incredible.
-
Finally theres a tutorial on this! I've been trying and failing to launch a nuke for years and this tutorial actually worked for me! Thanks Atomic Frontier!

The Titan missile museum near Green Valley, AZ lets amateur radio operators use the multiband antenna on special occasions. It's a big flex in the world of radio to say you're talking on an antenna that used to receive launch codes.

Your motion tracking has gotten so good! You've really found your own personality and style too. love watching all your videos
-
thank you! i got a nuke off ebay and was wondering how i was ment to launch this thing
-
At 6:01: "Fill the remaining tank with 90,000 tons of liquid oxygen." I don't think the Titan I's thrust was quite up to the task of lifting that much :-)
-
i bet you could make such an awesome movie with this concept! a crew of 4 stuck inside a missile silo doubting to go outside because the government may longer not exist.

Nuclear weapons, biblically accurate angel antennae, and the Dingley swagger? You know you’re in for a good time! I hope you’ve read Command & Control, it adds so much more context to these facilities.
-
I love the Titan Missile Museum, I'm very happy to see you were able to visit! It's an excellent museum and very much worth the trip.
-
Nicely done, and that from a former crewmember. There was a minor mistake, but I suspect only an actual crew member would have spotted it. Loved the code for the BVLC. On the simulator where I was stationed, it was SACSUX.
-
The timing whilst walking down the corridor was amazing!
-
The editing is insane I couldn't even tell some of the cards were added in post they blend in so well
-
Great to see you back! Nice that you got sole access to shoot this video - I think I have seen a few other demonstrations with groups of tourists.
-
Hands down, one of the best channels on YouTube! Glad to see you back.
