True but the Curta did not enter production until 1947. Too late for the “atomic bomb”. I can also not find any reference where a Curta went to the moon.
Slide rules on the other hand were used for routine calculations during the development of the atomic bomb and did go to the moon.

Slide Rule, 5-inch, Pickett N600-ES, Apollo 13
