Would it be possible for a hacker to control a nuke?

[Winner]

Is it possible that somebody could control nuclear missiles or other sensetive military weapons from a regular World Wide Web connection? Or are the wires or transmitters physically cut off from the civillian network?

In other words is it possible for a civillian with the correct software to gain control of part of the military infrastructure?

I'm assuming this is the United States we are talking about

No.

Do you really thing the US government is so stupid?

Even if it was possible, the pre-launch sequence takes few minutes. I am sure the silo control staff would find a way how to stop it.

It's not that I'm not fascinated by the nuckles its that I don't know what I know and if anone one wants to say that they know it is dubiovus.

No, but don't tell that to the people that like the movie Wargames.

Technically speaking, in Wargames the computer nerd got into the system and made the US Army think it was being attacked, he never controlled any nuclear missiles.
