  1. I must admit, they released a lot more information a lot earlier than I expected. I sort of thought it remained heavily classified well into the '50s.
    But it does mean, for my outline, the town rumors that one of the main character worked on the Project is perfectly reasonable.

  13. In addition to the BBC article below, some theses expressing my opinions.

    One of the reasons why the US used two nuclear weapons against Japan was simply that a big and expensive endeavor like the Manhattan Project has so much momentum that it is very difficult to leave its results unused.

    While de iure Truman was ultimately responsible for that use, de facto his responsibility was the smallest of all people involved.
    I imagine the other people as well as the circumstances twisted his tail to make that decision.
    Note that later Truman did not permit the use of nuclear weapons in the Korean War, even though narrow military considerations would arguably have justified it.

    There is no doubt that the Manhattan Project was a big scientific and engineering success.
    But it is very difficult to say how ethical the Manhattan Project was and the answer would be much more complicated.
    Similarly, it is very difficult to evaluate its legacy with a single word, "negative" or "positive".

  33. Quote from the podcast:

    "Back in 1945, there was this incredibly brilliant mathematician, John von Neumann and he was staring down the reality of the atomic bomb, the one he was actively helping to build.

    He basically said, "What we are creating right now is a monster, a monster whose influence is going to change history,
    *provided there is any history left.*"

    First: The "Blueprint." 🗺️
    Soviet intelligence (the NKVD) pulled off the ultimate heist by infiltrating the Manhattan Project. Spies like Klaus Fuchs didn't just send "tips"—they sent the full technical specifications for the "Fat Man" plutonium bomb. They didn't have to wonder if it worked; they knew it did.
