There weren't 6 African scientists on the Manhattan project. They were all European or American.

It was rare indeed for a black man to be allowed an education in those days. It is doubtful that any got so far as to achieve a PhD in physics or chemistry. It is certain that none were part of project Manhattan.

The above comment is not true - African-American scientist J. Ernest Wilkins got a PhD in 1942 and from 1944 worked on the Manhattan Project in the University of Chicago's Met Lab.

How did the government hide the Manhattan project?

The government concealed the Manhattan Project through a combination of strict security measures, compartmentalization of information, and the use of code names. Access to the project was limited to a select group of scientists and military personnel, who were often unaware of the overall purpose of their work. Additionally, the project was conducted under the auspices of various organizations, such as the Army Corps of Engineers, which helped obscure its true nature from the public. Misinformation and the urgency of wartime secrecy further contributed to the project's low visibility.

What was space travel like in World War 2?

There was no space travel at all at that time. The Germans had a big project running throughout the war, until they ran out of money to even feed their people, to develop rockets. They had camps where they were using concentration camp prisoners to create the parts. These were meant to be means of firing ballistic missiles at the Allies, but they never got completed and were never launched. However, the scientists working on the technology went on to be some of the famous names of rocketry following the war and the work done during the war was the basis for much of the early work on space-bound rocketry.

Who are scientific leaders of world war 2?

There were thousands of them worldwide. In the US we had Einstein (consulting) and Szilard (consulting) and Frank Oppenheimer to lead the Manhattan project. There was the Army Corp of Engineers too. General Leslie Groves led the entire Manhattan Project for the Army. I can't remember the names of the German scientists other than Wernher von Braun and Walter Dornberger who were responsible for developing the V2 Rockets that bombed London. Von Braun eventually became the head of NASA in the USA. I don't know the names of the Japanese scientist who were working on their atomic bomb.

What were the names of the two atomic bombs that Albert Einstein made?

Einstein did not personally make any atomic bombs, nor was he particularly involved in the Manhattan Project. (He couldn't obtain the necessary security clearance. and scientists in the project were actually forbidden from consulting with him about it.) The names of the first two bombs were "the gadget" and "Little Boy." The gadget was the one used in the Trinity test firing, and was a test of the design used for the third bomb, "Fat Man" (Little Boy was considered a simple enough design to not need a test firing, but the gadget and Fat Man were more complicated.)
