The Manhattan Project required huge amounts of computational power to analyze the mountains of data being generated in the laboratories.
It gave birth to the modern electronic computer.

The Manhattan Project was the project, conducted during World War II primarily by the United States, to develop the first atomic bomb. Formally designated as the Manhattan Engineer District (MED), it refers specifically to the period of the project from 1942-1946 under the control of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, under the administration of General Leslie R. Groves. The scientific research was directed by American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.[1] The project's roots lay in scientists' fears since the 1930s that Nazi Germany was also investigating nuclear weapons of its own. Born out of a small research program in 1939, the Manhattan Project eventually employed more than 130,000 people and cost nearly $2 billion USD ($24 billion in 2008 dollars based on CPI). It resulted in the creation of multiple production and research sites that operated in secret.[2] The three primary research and production sites of the project were the plutonium-production facility at what is now the Hanford Site, the uranium-enrichment facilities at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the weapons research and design laboratory now known as Los Alamos National Laboratory. Project research took place at over thirty sites across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The MED maintained control over U.S. weapons production until the formation of the Atomic Energy Commission in January 1947.
THE STORY OF THE ANDERSONVILLE PRISON
FDR was full of determination. He didn't let his health hold him back and he made many good decisions. His impact on world war II had a big affect as it was him who was working on the Manhattan project to develop the atomic bombs and even though it was Harry Truman who dropped the bombs and gave the go ahead to do so, it was FDR who had developed them to their full potential.
The quote "there is no such thing as a good war" originated from US President Benjamin Franklin.
When is war ever a good thing?
It's a good thing for us that the Manhattan Project advanced so quickly in the competition to create the world's first A-bomb.
no it is not a good thing to learn about lol
Bring in a newspaper and, erm... use this thing called your head:)
Because Manhattan had very few altercations
Poseidon brought good and evil to humans. But one good thing he did while he was in a good mood id build islands for people.
may lead to huge cost overruns, a failure to complete the project on schedule, and then, in the rush to meet final deadlines, the delivery of a project that fails to meet the needs of the customers.
The crusaders found a lot of knowledge that the arab people had and brought it to europe.
If the question pertains to a businesses Project Manager I would have to say the first thing is a good plan, then organization, leading, and controlling. This is known as the POLC model; Planning, Leading, Organizing, and Controlling.
The Civil War was a bad thing because it caused tremendous destruction of property and the loss of countless lives. However, it was a good thing because it brought about the end of slavery in the United States.
It's a good thing I brought my umbrella, because it is very wet outside.
The atomic bomb was not developed in Manhattan, but was developed by the Manhattan Project. The project was headed by General Leslie R. Groves Jr. with Robert J. Oppenheimer as scientific director and had several development sites across the United States. The primary facilities were Los Alamos, New Mexico, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the Hanford Site in Washington state. The reason the project was named Manhattan Project was that its original administrative offices were in Manhattan, at the existing US Army Corps of Engineers offices, until they were relocated to Oak Ridge, Tennessee when adequate facilities for such offices had been built. But the name Manhattan stuck (probably partly because it made a good "cover", hiding the purpose/location of the project - as the name "Radiation Lab" obscured the project working on RADAR).
Because everyone thought it was a good thing to watch people die, it brought pleasure and brought fear to the people who thought otherwise;)
