Asbsolutely. Reading about the construction/engineering of the Hoover Dam is truly mind-blowing. They didn't even know if what they were doing was going to work. A lot of experimentation. Engineering on a scale that is hard to wrap the mind around.

Hoover Dam
If you've got a few minutes to kill watch the Anamgraffs video on youtube. It's a detailed video on the design and construction of the dam. It blew my mind what the engineers had to come up with to make it work.

Sequencing the DNA genome. Took collaboration from science, applied science, and engineering to get it done

The Apollo space program and the Manhattan Project make the Hoover Dam look like something a couple of coonasses knocked out over a couple of weekends

Apollo 11 is way, way out in front of anything else.

Closest been to drowning about 1 mile upriver of bridge whitewater rafting Arkansas River. One of best times ever!

I've rafted it also. Bucket list for anyone that likes to whitewater raft for sure. Also drove across the bridge back in the 90s when light vehicles were allowed.

Outside of the obvious, Manhattan Project, Apollo missions, Hoover Dam, I'll nominate the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel
12 miles of bridges and two 1 mile tunnels in the middle of the Chesapeake, built in 1964. First time I went over this as a kid 30 years ago. We could see the big ship going across the bay but there was no bridge, and we had no idea this was a tunnel in the middle of the long bridge in open waters. I remember going into the tunnel being nervous for some reason, then being in awe of it once i started thinking about how they hell did they build this.
Such a weird feeling when you approach this.

Panama Canal. McCollough's book "A Path Between the Seas" is pretty fascinating.

The microwave oven is one of my favorite inventions, there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t use that thing.
Also microwaves were used to transmit long distance phone calls between towers with dishes. Digital signals are sent with ones and zeros from one end and deciphered and put back together on the other end to form a facsimile of a person’s voice. That’s as technical as I can get at the moment. It’s amazing how they came up with this, it’s not a walkie talkie anymore.

Almost every machine that you use was invented in the USA.
