Still needs some design corrections because I just didn’t know how to properly do 3D print and industrial design but it works!

      The nuclear football is not a computer.

      It contains the codes and procedures to order a strike, but it is not a computer.

      According to sources from within the white house, in the 1980s it contained four items:

      • A black book of retaliatory options
      • A book listing classified site locations
      • A manilla folder with eight or ten pages staples together giving a discription of the procedures for the Emergency Alert System
      • A card with authentication codes

      There is a small antenna protruding near the handle of the briefcase, which some believe means that there is communications equipment inside the case as well.

      …

      I mean, yeah, the computer looks really cool!
