gininitaly: But we have given them our most advanced technology to replicate... we have helped them to jump the whole R&D that the US had to pay for.. which gives them a good edge on catching up very fast.

Looking_Heart: but the joos built the bomb
A collaboration of scientists (headed by Robert Oppenheimer) and engineers designed and built the first atomic bomb. It could not have been handled by one person, or even a "small team" of clever, skilled individuals.
The research and development was handled under the auspices of the Manhattan Project, which was a massive effort by the United States in World War 2. Nuclear theory had suggested that the release of vast amounts of energy was possible under certain conditions with the right materials. The whole idea was to apply the ideas of what might be possible to construct a working nuclear weapon.
Below is a link to the Wikipedia post on the Manhattan Project. All the particulars can be found there.

Conrad73: Who built and successfully launched the first Liquid-Fueled Rocket?
On March 16, 1926, Robert Goddard successfully launched the first liquid-fueled rocket in Auburn, Mass. The first-of-its-kind rocket reached an altitude of 41 feet, lasted 2 seconds and averaged about 60 miles per hour.
