With our innovation in technology, a lot of the marvels with most value are tiny.

But it points to domestic industry?

Does it not?

I mean people still talk about the Space Shuttle - a glorified Concorde basically.

I guess we build great planes...Boeing...a lot commercial.

But mostly military.

Marvels are used to wow a dumb populace and drive patriotism.

I agree invention and innovation is the next level and we are on that level.
China can't think for themselves all they know to do is copy and repeat they can't think abstract.

I've been on a YouTube binge dissecting China from insiders and outsiders.
The students all. Opp one persons report. Or a report that they find online. They struggle to be individuals... Which is understandable in a communist nation, where you just piggyback the best and fall in line.

But that's where the us exceeds the rest of the world innovation.

Japan and Germany have been historically known for this as well.
But merkel has screwed Germany

I think "big" marvels are outdated, maybe even a little useless for the most part nowadays.

The I-phone was a pretty big deal.

But just wait till we break ground on Trump Plaza - Mars.

So the last time we built something great was 60 years ago?

As a nation? Yeah. When was the last time the government spearheaded something like the Apollo project?
