I'm not even joking, you're imagining how hard it would be based on your limited knowledge. If you had to do it, how would you do it, the only way you know how to do it is hard, so it's hard.
You've compared it to 1940s Manhattan Project so you must not be aware technology has advanced since then. You're imaging some Weimar-era cast iron centrifuge and how hard it would be using that, when in the real world they're using magnetic levitation bearings and countercurrent multiplication - neither of which existed at the time - and tons of advances in materials and controls.
I understand that in your head it's difficult to do these things, but that's not reality.
Ah, projection once again!
The Bombs are also more complex too. Otherwise they're huge and difficult to deploy.
Only 1 (one) nation has built a Bomb from scratch. Russia stole critical designs & gave them to China too. Russia actually came closest, everyone else got a major "leg up" from an existing N-power.
If it is so simple? Why hasn't a corporation built one from scratch? A rebel group? Any rogue nation? Even Iran depended heavily on outside knowledge and they still don't have a Bomb after a decade of dedicated, very expensive effort.
I'm not claiming it's impossible DUH! It has been done and could be done again, obviously. But without the shortcuts it is a massive effort. ie: difficult.
So $50B for Manhattan and 130,000 people over 36 months?
You can build one today for $45B with only 110,000 people in just 32 months! EASY AS FUCK EH?
Hint: the 110,000 people costs exponentially more than in 1945. Army logistics to feed & house them, low pay even for the scientists? I think that'd add another $5B per year over and above inflation.
And, again since you've ignored it, the equipment is better, faster and all that, but the Bombs themselves are much more complex or else they'd barely be usable.
Anyhow, your projection is quite boring, go play with your toys little one.

Okay well how much easier do you think it is now then it was in 1940s? 10% easier?
Just curious how retarded you are.

Hahaha you think it costs more than in the 1940s.
Didn't expect that level of retardation, well played. Good comedy.
