They sorta-kinda go together, IMO.

I was thinking the same thing. They must be preparing for one of those and the situation would appear worse than we would think. What struck me was that the Cheyenne Mountain base is only a half acre. That seems tiny!

Oh, but it's probably a TARDIS half acre: Larger on the inside than on the outside.

OOOOOOOOOOHHH!
YES!!!!!!!!!!

the move of comms back into the mountain is a message to Russia and their little wargames - "hey, we see what you did there! bring it!"
above info comes from a military weather (NORAD) family member.
also, in case theres confusion, some news articles implied that the Cheyenne mountain facility had been closed down. it has never been closed down, only HQ comms stuff had been moved out and now its been brought back.

Really?! No-telling how deep the thing goes. Underground elevators are used, I just don't know in how many places.
