In 4 years nuclear weapons went from theory to testing the first bomb. $20 billion spent in that time to construct an entire nuclear industry. The largest building in the world, K-25, was built in 2 years with 25000 workers and employed up to 50000 in the surrounding area. That's the level of commitment I'm talking about.
