For me, it really hit home when I was shooting film of the actual console that housed the "button". Not actually as easy as it sounds, they didn't simply push a button, there was a long procedure that involved several people to activate the launch sequence. There really wasn't much left inside the launch control room, the military obviously stripped it of anything of any importance. Sobering is the best word to describe that room........knowing what easily could have happened back in those paranoid days.....
