Episode 5040
Published 1 month ago
Description
The movies tell the story of the Manhattan Project through the eyes of its scientists — but the project's real scale was industrial. At its peak, it employed nearly 130,000 people across secret cities like Oak Ridge and Hanford, most of whom never knew what they were building. This episode explores the engineering, logistics, and human cost of the megaproject that the history books often skip.
