Basically every thing we take for granted today.
Look at flight. We flew for the first time in 1903, 122 years ago. And we invented how to do it. We didn't see it in a magazine or see how it's done and tried to recreate it. I light but look at African countries, today, trying to fly. LINK

The Empire State Building.
Id throw all of the 20’s - 30’s skyscrapers in here. They were not only beautiful, they were engineering marvels. Its a goddam crime what the owners did to the McGraw-Hill building lobby in Manhattan.

Kitty Hawk to Apollo 11.
Getting off the ground to landing on the Moon in about 65 years is pretty fricking amazing.

The Thermos bottle...
In 1969 as Apollo 11 was headed towards the moon a local tv station in Los Angeles was on the streets asking people about it. They were in South Central LA and asked this gentleman what he thought was mans greatest achievement was. He said the Thermos. Newman seemed perplexed and asked why. He said in the winter I fills it up with coffee and it stays hot all day. And in the summer I fills it with ice tea and it stays cold all day. The newsman asks " and" ?
To which he replies "but how do it know" ?

Drilling a 22,000' oil well in 10,000' feet of water. For those of you that struggle with math. That's a 32,000 foot oil well. We use cutting edge tech to find oil and gas that's been in the earth for 12,000 to 200 million years, harness it and we refine it into a liquid that the world runs on! This is up there!

The Royal Gorge Bridge is suspended 956 feet above the Arkansas River.
The Royal Gorge Bridge was built in 7 months and opened in 1929.
Lead by Chief Engineer, George Cole, the bridge was designed to hold more than 2,000,000 pounds.
About 100 boards of the bridge were scorched in the 2013 Royal Gorge Fire.
In 2019, the Royal Gorge Bridge was trademarked “America’s Bridge.”
