The What: How We Came To Grips with the Sun (The Gadget at 05:29:45, July 6, 1945).


On July 6, 1945 at 5:29.45 am the world changed. The first atomic bomb, nicknamed "The Gadget", exploded with a force of 20 kilotons, creating a 10 foot deep crater 1,000 feet across. A month later, "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima with "Fat Man" following soon after. The end of the worst war in human history had come...but with it, an unimaginable new power had taken its seat at the table.
