Definitely worth a drive down to the (Titan) silo. Makes one appreciate how important it was to check the "pilot" block on your AF application form. The rocket fuel they used (UDMH) was truly nasty: corrosive, explosive, and poisonous. If you got trapped in the crew capsule by a nearby bomb blast, the "emergency exit" was an upward-sloping tunnel filled with sand. A handy shovel was provided.
