Cheyenne Mountain to be mothballed

The Washington Post reports that NORAD's Cheyenne Mountain complex is being "idled". Built more than 1000 feet beneath the mountain during the cold war, the reduced threat of nuclear attack means that the extra protection is no longer necessary.

The entrance to the complex is well known from movies like WarGames and tv shows like Stargate SG1.
