Who wants a Titan Missile base?

Actually, what puzzles me most about this is how they managed to build such a thing. It all looks infeasable, from an engineering standpoint.

For example, the domes have no support, they're just floating in mid-air. There are broken pipe sections floating, too. And can you imagine how much excavation was involved to clear out that entire underground area? What do they do with all the open space outside of the buildings?

I wonder why they didn't include an actual picture taken from one of the domes or silos overlooking the rest of the facility. Or a picture from outside the buildings, looking up at the "ceiling" of the underground area and all the other buildings.

Isn't that just a cut-away picture. In reality, that whole facility is underground, so the domes and tunnels are supported by dirt. I dunno, maybe I'm misunderstanding something.

Unless i'm wooshing (which I could be) the entire place is underground....

That's what I thought at first, but then I saw:

"OR you could build an apartment in the AIR INTAKE BUILDING, which OVERLOOKS the Power Dome so you could have an UNDERGROUND APARTMENT WITH A VIEW!!"
