Oppenheimer's group selected the Alamogordo Bombing Range in New Mexico for the atomic bomb test in 1945, avoiding potential devastation of the Rice area.
Rice, once considered a site for the atomic bomb test, was a remote location with a controversial history, often described as No Man's Land.
Former scientist K.T. Bainbridge noted that it was deemed essential to test the bomb before deployment in Japan, influencing site selection for safety.
Rice is now known for its curious display of thousands of shoes left on fences, reflecting its unique, albeit forgotten history in American landscapes.
