History does have a sense of humor
Not a good one

Thanks for the history reminder. Amazing how these anniversaries keep on slipping by us.

It should also not be forgotten , that on Thurday 1969, Apollo 11 launched on its journey to the moon

Apollo 11 Launch

From Fat Man and Little Boy; one of the few modern films made about the Manhattan Project. Almost an A-lister with Newman as General Groves, and yes, that is indeed Dwight Schultz whom trekkies know as Reg Barclay playing Robert Oppenheimer

First test of the gadget

Don't forget to buy a souvenir.
