Loveland Myth Busters take on the Manhattan Project! with Joe Bowden
The Manhattan Project produced the first atomic bombs during World War II. It began in 1939, employed more than 130,000 people by the end of the war, and cost nearly US$2 billion (about $26 billion in 2014 dollars). It was led by Major General Leslie Groves of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, with physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer the scientific director of the Los Alamos, NM, site that designed the actual bombs. In this discussion, I?ll take on a number of ?Conventional Wisdoms? that most Americans believe. Many know the short story: two weapons dropped on Japan. No registration is required but come early as seating is limited.
