America's Nuclear Missile Fields; Defending America's Satellites | 60 Minutes Full Episodes

Nice to see 60 Minutes taking advantage of the Chinese balloon situation

No need for flashy aircraft. These heroes below the surface deserve credit. Thank you,

My grandfather Died in 1964 (nov, 22) Nebraska City. He manned ICBM's as a Captain in the Airforce. He was 32 y/o with 6 children at home. He was a veteran of the conflict in Korea in the Army, and based on the little bit I know, he was a true war hero. He loved this country, but he also tried to save his own life, before the crash that killed him, he knew flying into those bases in small STOL aircraft was highly dangerous and unnecessary. I read for myself a hand typed letter he wrote to his command about alternatives. But he was so patriotic he followed the orders that eventually killed him. I have always wondered why the AFB in Lincoln, NE was closed after only 6 years in operation. My grandmother never remarried, and couldn't talk much about my grandfather, all she ever told us was he was tattooed in Korea, and when he tried to go back into the Airforce he used acid to melt the tattoos off his arms.

These "kids" are the cream of the crop of our military, and it's super cool that 60 Minutes highlighted them, although it would be cool to see where they are 10 years later (now, in 2024 vs when it was first aired in 2014).

It's crazy how much energy we are putting into fighting each other 🤯

Seeing that rural farmland in close proximity to those silos makes those scenes from the “Day After” look way too realistic

22:55 fast roping down a nuclear silo like that sounds operator as heck. Super cool footage!

It’s been almost 10 years since this report, would be great to follow up not only if the US can defend the satellite but also how good Chinese has gotten since then.

I wonder how much have things changed since 2014 when this program was first aired.

And this was 8 years ago, imagine their capabilities today. Thank you to all the men and women who keep us safe watching over the heartland.

Respect to these people

Productivity never happens by chance; it is always the result of careful preparation, dedication, and consistency. I thank God for my advisor, Yuval Eric Brokman; with his assistance, I am now financially solid, earning between $10,000 and $25,000 every week.

The sound of the clock ticking for 60 Minutes brings me back to any time I want to imagine, as it’s been consistent all my life 😂

I SEE WHY THOSE CHINESE BALLOONS ARE WONDERING 😅

Thanks for all you do to keep this nation safe! May God and the missiles keep us safe.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

These guys and submarine crews are the unsung HEROES that America never hears about. But they are the people working to keep us safe in our beds every night.

Fear is the most powerful weapon

The lockpickinglawyer must have enjoyed seeing those 2 locks securing the fate of humanity

Wow! She asked all the tough questions lol. I def respect her journalism. 💯💙

Good update. Tnx Nate for your efforts
