Descrição:
At 5:30 am, on July 16, 1945, mankind entered a new era. At the Alamogordo Test Range in New Mexico, a massive explosionwith the force of 18,000 tonnes of TNT marked the beginning of the nuclear era. The world's first nuclear weapon, nick-named "Trinity", was an implosion device that utilized plutonium as its core. The test, originally scheduled to 4:00 am, was delayed due to a thunderstorm. The "gadget" finally succesfully detonated at 5:30 am, with a yield of 18 kilotons. Dr. Robert Oppenheimer later reflected, "If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the destroyer of Worlds."...maismenos
