The atomic bomb by a long shot when you count the tremendous amount of high profile scientists working on the Manhattan project.

They're both pretty hard to fake but I think convincing the Japanese they were bombed must have been more difficult.

>scientists
That's the thing though. A bomb was a feat of science. With the moon landing, even the lowest of engineers can figure out the physics of putting a rocket on the moon. But the specifics of it are incredible difficult.

moon landing...atomic bomb was just blowing up shit...moon landing was sending a rocket with 1000's of interworking parts to the moon AND back... without blowing up shit

The creation of a limited power locke style government is the greater engineering feat and that was done with a deep dive into humanities

The German V-2 project cost more than the Manhattan project. An atom bomb at the end of the day is just bringing together two pieces of metal really fast. All that is difficult about it is calculating the right masses and purifying the uranium

The atomic bomb was a tremendous feat of science but at the end of the day it was just a gun that shot at a piece of enriched uranium. When it comes to engineering the Moon landings are much more impressive.
