TGPTNDR - Re: "none of Vannevar Bush, Leslie Groves, or Robert
Oppenheimer were really on the creative side from what I have read. "

I never said they were on the creative side. I said the RAN the Manhattan Project.

Oppenheimer himself was a great mathematician and theoretical physicist.

Oppenheimer was instrumental in traveling across the country recruiting the best scientists in the USA (and abroad) and establishing the various sites at Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, Richland, Wa. and U. of Chicago.

Despite being "technical", Oppenheimer was the CHief Administrator and is largely responsible for managing the entire program, personnel, technology, etc.

That in itself was a hugely "creative" endeavor.
