Stephenson's agents killed an atomic scientist in Norway to stop Hitler getting nuclear weapons. Hard men making hard choices. That's war.

#Biden Administration made "donations" of worthless drones to #Ukraine, failed to give instructions on how to use them, and then put further restrictions on their use.
@anneapplebaum describes Ukraine's version of "#ManhattanProject" where "everyone at this production site is now part of a major shift in the politics and economics of the war, one that hasn’t been fully understood by all of Ukraine’s allies."
#Zelenskyy made sure #Trump understood
![the American drones were susceptible to Russian jamming, and the [Biden Administration] imposed restrictions on their use. One former soldier now involved in drone manufacturing told me that the Ukrainians weren't necessarily prepared to use them either. He and some colleagues found boxes of drones in a warehouse along with some other U.S. equipment in the first year of the war, and figured out how to use them from videos they found on the internet. Only later did they receive real instruction. (I agreed not to identify the officer or the former soldier, who fear for their security.)
Whatever their faults, these American donations did inspire the creation of long-range-drone units. Some are part of the military; others are connected to Ukrainian intelligence. As they grew to understand the technology, the commanders of these units, just like the teams deploying battlefield drones and sea drones, concluded that they needed their own drones, as well as their own drone research and development, with a constant feedback loop between the operators on the front lines and the industrial engineers. As the officer told me, “Everything interesting started a year ago, when the Armed Forces of Ukraine started to receive mass numbers of Ukrainian-made drones.” Once their own production lines were in place, they were not trapped by technology invented somewhere else, and they could continually update it to counter advances in Russian tactics and electronic-warfare technology:](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/266/591/023/192/576/original/26abc45bb46939ea.png)

🤓 Ah, yes, because the world was just clamoring for yet another rehash of the Manhattan Project. We *totally* needed a reminder that dropping atomic bombs was a big news story—did you know #physicists were involved? 🚀 The real bombshell here is how a few paragraphs can feel longer than the entirety of #WWII. 📚💥

Opinion | Trump Is Squandering the Greatest Gift of the Manhattan Project – The New York Times

How Trump Is Undoing 80 Years of American Greatness

Mr. Graff is a journalist, a historian and the author, most recently, of “The Devil Reached Toward the Sky: An Oral History of the Making and Unleashing of the Atomic Bomb.”
阅读简体中文版閱讀繁體中文版The 80th anniversary last week of the atomic bombings that helped end World War II came at a most peculiar time. That is in part because we can’t mark that anniversary without also noting the astonishing Manhattan Project that built atomic weapons.
The Manhattan Project was a towering achievement, one of the great stories of human effort and accomplishment. Yet the Trump administration has been systematically dismantling the culture of research that the Manhattan Project and World War II bequeathed us, a culture that propelled American prosperity.
At no other time in modern history has a country so thoroughly turned its back on its core national strengths. The very elements that made the Manhattan Project such a success are today under assault. With devastating cuts to science and health research, the administration is turning its back on a history of being powered and renewed by the innovation and vision of immigrants. What America may find is that we have squandered the greatest gift of the Manhattan Project — which, in the end, wasn’t the bomb but a new way of looking at how science and government can work together.
That the Manhattan Project happened is itself a minor miracle. For nearly two years, the U.S. military seemed to want nothing to do with the effort of inventing an atomic bomb.
From 1939 to 1941, a ragtag group of mostly Jewish refugee scientists from Hitler’s Europe, including Albert Einstein, approached the government and met with military officials. The scientists educated them on the discovery of nuclear fission, its implications for war and their fears that Hitler would develop an atomic bomb first.
The military brushed them off. “The colonels kept rather aloof,” the physicist Eugene Wigner recalled after one such meeting in October 1939, as Hitler took Poland. “They were friendly, they smiled, but they never expected to see a working atomic bomb in this world.”
One of those colonels told Wigner and Edward Teller, dismissively, that he would award $10,000 to whoever could develop a death ray and prove it by killing a goat — the implication being he imagined that project more likely than a bomb that unlocked the power of the fundamental building block of the universe.

80 years: Remembering #Nagasaki
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has expressed deep unease about the capabilities of GPT-5 AI model expected to launch in August 2025.
Altman said testing the new model left him feeling "useless" and likened its development to the Manhattan Project, that produced the first atomic bomb.
He is concerned that AI is advancing too quickly for regulators and society to manage. As GPT-5 nears release, even its creators are sounding the alarm.

A creek with atomic waste from WWII is linked to increased cancer risk
by Ronnie Cohen, July 21, 2025
"Children who lived near a St. Louis creek polluted with radioactive atomic bomb waste from the 1940s through the 1960s were more likely to be diagnosed with cancer over their lifetimes than children who lived farther from the waterway, a new study has found.
"The findings, published in JAMA Network Open, corroborate worries that neighbors of Coldwater Creek have long held about the #MissouriRiver tributary where generations of children played.
" 'We actually saw something quite dramatic, not only elevated risk of cancer, but one that increased steadily in a sort of dose-response manner the closer the childhood residents got to Coldwater Creek,' said the study's senior author, Marc Weisskopf, an epidemiology professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
"As part of the #ManhattanProject, #Mallinckrodt Chemical Works processed #uranium in #SaintLouisMO for the development of an #AtomicBomb. By the mid-1940s, according to historians, the company began to haul its #RadioactiveWaste north of the city, leaving it in open steel drums, unattended and exposed to the elements, next to #ColdwaterCreek."
[...]
"Almost one-quarter of the participants [in a study] reported having cancer. Those who lived within one kilometer of the creek as children were 44% more likely to report having cancer than those who lived more than 20 kilometers away. Even more striking, those who lived within one kilometer of the creek were 85% more likely to have radiosensitive cancers, cancers believed to be caused by radiation."

80 years since Trinity test, new oral history reveals the human drama: Scientists were told "lie face down, don't look!" Edward Teller's response? "Hold my calculator" *stares directly at nuclear explosion through welding goggles* 🤓💥
#Germany was the world leader in many fields of #science.
Until the #Nazis came and threw out the best scientists because of the heritage.
The #US took in some of these refugees, many of them participated in the #ManhattanProject, and became the world leader in science and technology.
The Soviets may have put a satellite up first and Gagarin, but Gagarin had to jump out of his capsule because the parachute on it didn't work.
But #America landed humans on the #Moon and returned them safely to the #Earth.
Now, #fascist and #demented #Trump has, in less than a year, made it nearly impossible for any international #scientific #conference to be held anywhere in the United States ever again based on its deportment policies, arbitrary demands for #bribes, and #abductions by #brownshirts on the street.
