The Nike Historical Society presents this United States Army film The Nike Hercules Story. This is an easy introduction to the Cold War and the Nike System for those who know nothing about it, and an interesting look back for those who lived through it. Make yourself comfortable- it's 27 minutes long.
Ron Santos adds his memories to the list of Nike Site Dangers.
31 March 2012: This web site was thoroughly but subtly hacked. "Subtly" means NikeMissile.org was set to work normally most of the time but occasionally visitors would get unwanted or malicious pop-ups or be directed to other web sites. We discovered the hacking about a week ago and have been off-line since discovering the hack. Even now we're still looking for all the changes that were made to our site and we're being cautious, so some some site content is not working at this time. Thanks for your patience and support.
