Research Becomes Fun

Well...the actual research isn't so fun, but reading about the making of the atomic bomb sure is. Eric, Lydia, and I (and perhaps Justin) are going to give a presentation on the invention of the atomic bomb and explain why and how it was made. Today I was reading about how it was made. It is so complex! Then I read about the testing of Fat Man, the first real test of the bomb made with plutonium. It worked. Now to see if Truman is brave enough to order Fat Man dropped on Japan. Was it worth the cost of so many lives? or the risk of something going wrong?
