Aug. 6, 1945: 'I Am Become Death, Destroyer of Worlds'

Saw this in the morning feed:

Aug. 6, 1945: 'I Am Become Death, Destroyer of Worlds'

and realised I'd forgotten how long it had been since this actually happened - over 60 years! And they didn't have shiny new [$200m super]computers to do the calculations.

Quite interesting that the NCSA - one of the US groups that actually have the word in their name is finally coming back to prominence after what seemed to be a period of being eclipsed by the National Labs.
