Over the course of the Manhattan Project, 120,000 people were involved in the creation of this atomic bomb. This include scientists and engineers who worked together on the specifics of the bomb and the impact it would have. This success can also be contributed to the business owners and workers who helped build the technology and equipment needed to make this bomb/test it during the 1940's.
