I was lucky enough to pay a visit to the Mountain last week. A truly fascinating, impressive and iconic complex, but it has to move with the times. There's no need for a centralised hardened shelter for the US's missile and air defence systems because the Cold War threat has gone. NORAD will move to the nearby Peterson AFB which seemed to me to have plenty of space to spare!
Still, it is the passing of an era.

You have to marvel at the notion that a facility is being described as "closed" if it is to be capable of being re-opened in an hour.
Gawd bless The Times for their heroic inability to spell "hangar" correctly.

Well, a couple of people beat me to it, but obviously SGC has managed to get the "ring-transport" link between Cheyenne Mountain and Peterson AFB working, so they no longer need the presence of NORAD to disguise the presence and movements of its personnel!
Ecce Homo! Loquitur...

Hmmm.... Stargate SG-1 cancelled. Is this a coincidence or or something more....
