    Okay, sure … but even 60 meters underground is pretty fucking deep, really. (~200ft, for the metric-challenged folks) Quite the excavation project, if you don’t already have a natural cave. And even a lot of natural caves aren’t quite that deep.

    And building something 200-300 meters underground starts to become quite an engineering challenge.

      That’s why we use submarines as final strike nuclear platforms. Water blocks explosions nearly as well and a submarine can move out of the way.
