Agreed. We are the country that designed, created, and operated the SR-71 Blackbird, put a man on the moon, and built the Hoover Dam, among other incredible feats of organization, engineering, and manufacturing.

I fear as a country we are not capable of that type of thing any more and I am not only frustrated, I'm saddened.

BTW if anyone has any examples of more recent (post-2016) successes of a similar magnitude and impressiveness, I could definitely use a mood boost.
