Mission?[edit]

The article's current contents have little connection to RationalWiki's mission. I'm not sure if it deserves being kept as a general background information stub.--ZooGuard (talk) 21:51, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Manhattan Project was one of the first, if not the first example of "Big Science" - large government-sponsored projects employing thousands of scientists than combine basic research and engineering. Other examples include the National Ignition Facility, the Large Hadron Collider, the Hubble Space Telescope, the Human Genome Project, and ITER. I think the article should be kept, but the relevance of the project to science should be explained better. --Tweenk (talk) 03:37, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
that's just a footnote in a Big Science article then. No need to have an article about something just because it was the first of its kind. SophieWilder 19:18, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
anyone else want to chime in? SophieWilder 19:34, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
