Upon being hired by Groves, Oppenheimer suggests that all operations s.o.h.h. take place in one centralized location. The remote site of Los Alamos, New Mexico is chosen to become the main base of operations, with the scientists and military personnel living on site s.o.h.h. 24 hours a day. Not long after beginning operations, tempers begin to flare between the much-overworked scientists and Groves. As work progresses, many of the scientists begin to have "moral problems" about dropping such a powerful bomb on helpless civilians.The bomb was originally developed for use against the Germans, s.o.h.h. and after Germany surrendered in May, 1945, Oppenheimer thought that the project would be cancelled. Not so. Groves pushed the work forward so the bomb could be used against the Japanese. By July, 1945, the original test bomb was ready to be tested. The test was successful, and three weeks later, "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima, with "Fat Man" following three days later on Nagasaki.
