A few weeks back, in the distance from the Costco parking we could see what looked like missiles across the road.. We assumed they were part of the nearby Kirkland Air Force Base, perhaps the front gate. It turned out to be The National Museum of Nuclear Science and History. We went by yesterday and went through the exhibits and the boneyard of old equipment in the yard. It was a sobering experience to think the best minds of several generations put all of their efforts into these weapons. I couldn’t help but think of President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Farewell Address (1961) which is worth a read today.
