On July 16, 1945, at 5:29 am, 35 miles southwest of Socorro, New Mexico, the world’s first nuclear bomb was detonated. 


This was the culmination of the Manhattan Project, one of the largest, and most expensive programs in world history. 


Yet, just before the event, the scientists and engineers who worked on the project weren’t entirely sure it would work, and if it did, just what the results would be. 


Learn more about the Trinity Test, the world's first nuclear detonation, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
