Hey there,

I just saw the first episode of a new show called "Manhattan".

It is about the Manhatan Project.. Imdb link here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3231564/

Discuss

I heard in the trailer some quote about using the power source of stars to create a bomb. I am bothered by this statement as the Manhattan project was concerned with building a fission bomb while stars are powered by fusion.

Its Manhattan with two 't's for sensitive New Yorkers...

and here's what wikipedia has so far:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_(TV_series )

and the real one for historical context:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Project

There's a lot of good info there.

Did I have my title with one T? If so, someone fixed it already, nice!
