Not sure what you mean. Atomic bomb projects in other countries? Of course. Other large-scale engineering-led national projects? Yes, like the moon landing. | ||

Moon landing was done in full view of the public while the Manhattan project was a total secret. Based on that, I don't think they are the same. One could suggest the development of the B2 Stealth bomber would be closer than NASA. The design of satellites used by NRO are much more secret than NASA. | ||

I mean very simply: a highly secretive project that explores new physics for some radical new, destructive technology. It's interesting that everyone here is talking about mundane technologies or technologies that stem from a project that is almost 100 years old. What happened to physics? We just found the one interesting thing and that was it? | ||
