Oppenheimer’s “Terrible Possibility” - Atmospheric Ignition

Fifteen seconds before 5:30 a.m. on Monday, July 16, 1945, J. Robert Oppenhemier and his team of Manhattan Project scientists ushered in the nuclear age. And thankfully, after the Trinity test, the Earth was still there. This [HALF-LIFE HISTORY] is the true story of the day we almost set the world on fire.
