The Nike Missile Program
A Capstone Project by Ryan Gorneault

Welcome to my Website!

Ever since middle school, I have been fascinated by the idea that during the Cold War, there were so many missile sites set up all around the United States to protect us from a potential Soviet Union attack. Attending Talcott Mountain Academy (a former Nike Missile Site turned Science Center/School) opened my eyes to a world of warfare I never realized existed!

Here's what you will find on my website:

The History of the Nike Missile Program

Everything Else I'm Doing

I will go in depth about how and why the Nike Missile Program was created, how the missile sites worked, and why the program was decommissioned.

My Capstone Paper

In this paper, I explain how despite the looming threat of a Soviet Union attack, the Nike Missile Program may have ultimately been a waste.
This section will explain the many other things I'm planning to do in relation to my Capstone Project (TBD)

Paper Bibliography

You will be able to find all of the sources I used in the paper to further expand your knowledge of the Nike Missile Program.
