The Arizona ICBM site mentioned in {{Link|Game|DeSum}} may be a reference to the real life location {{wp|Titan Missle Museum|Air Force Facility Missile Site 8}}, a former ICBM site active during the height of the Cold War. This site was previously equipped with the largest single warhead used in the American ICBM program and was capable of launching a nine megaton thermonuclear warhead within 58 seconds which could reach a target over 6000 miles away in less than 30 minutes. The site was made in response to public fears of the United States' nuclear capabilities in comparison to the Soviet Union.<ref>{{Cite Web|quote=Air Force Facility Missile Site 8 (571-7) Military Reservation in Green Valley, Arizona, is the sole remaining Titan II Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) complex of the 54 that were "on alert" during the Cold War between 1963 and 1987. The Titan II missiles were contructed to survive a first strike nuclear attack from the Soviet Union and to retaliate. It is the single remaining example of the liquid-fueled ICBM missile launch facilities utilized by the Strategic Air Command. Titan II carried the largest single warhead used in the ICBM program and was capable of destroying targets that Atlas, Titan I and Minuteman I and II could not. Built in response to the "missile gap" panic of the late 1950s and early 1960s, Titan II Missile Site 571-7 provides a unique window into the design, construction and operation of a weapon system built to survive a first-strike nuclear attack and be able to launch its missile if so ordered.|author=Aviation: From Sand Dunes to Sonic Booms|url=[https://www.nps.gov/articles/air-force-facility-missile-site-8-5717-military-reservation.htm National Park Service]|archive=|published=November 26, 2017|retrieved=February 15, 2024|site=https://www.nps.gov/index.htm|type=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite Web|quote=The Titan II was capable of launching from its underground silo in 58 seconds and could deliver a nine megaton thermonuclear warhead to its target more than 6,000 miles (approximately 10,000 km) away in less than thirty minutes.|author=|url=[https://titanmissilemuseum.org/about/ Titan Missile Museum]|archive=|published=|retrieved=February 15, 2024|site=https://titanmissilemuseum.org/|type=}}</ref> | The Arizona ICBM site mentioned in {{Link|Game|DeSum}} may be a reference to the real life location {{wp|Titan Missle Museum|Air Force Facility Missile Site 8}}, a former ICBM site active during the height of the Cold War.
