A nuke-proof space observation station in Carmel Valley, Ca., is up for sale. The asking price: $2,950,000. Able to take a 5 megaton blast, the Jamesburg Earth Station was built in the 1960s and was the first to receive live images from the moon during 1969's Apollo landing. Also included in the deal is 160 acres of land, an 11-storey antenna able to broadcast worldwide, a helipad, and a 3-bedroom home. [KSBW]

So you could farm during the day and look at the moon at night?

It is a choice piece of property and a pretty good buy at the price. They had it featured on the news last night.
Talk about a serious Ham radio station!

Oh, to win the lottery!
The invincible part doesn't flip my skirt, but the space lab and acreage in Carmel would.
