Making the bombshell was easy, but the challenge was getting the right type of fissionable material, which was uranium and plutonium. Another big one was on how to trigger the chain reaction in time so it will not pulverize itself if it fissions too slow, nor blow up the bomb plane carrying it in midair if the fission chain is too fast.
