Remember when the biggest rockets, jet planes, bridges, buildings, dams etc were in America?

I flew on one of these from Hong Kong to London this summer.
It is a really nice plane, very quiet and a lot more leg room than other planes I have been on.

SSTs will be back sooner than you think. They’ll look like space shuttles.

I agree, but I find it notable that none of the benchmark records are “made in the USA” anymore.

Is this the plane with the onboard swimming pool?
Uh oh. Should I include a "Sarcasm" tag these days?"

They used to call my girls with job orders so weird you knew that only one person on Earth had all those qualifications. It was so they could hire an H1-B visa guy they already had in the wings.

My wife’s nephew actually worked on the design for the pool. He is a real smart kid and it is amazing all the things that the pool can do. Of course they do not take off or land with it filled, but it is a fact that they can fill it in under five minutes. Now draining it does take more time.

While that may be true in part, it is in large measure due to the technological development in the rest of the world tied to repressive anti-free market policies of the US gubmint.
Either way, it all started here.....a fact that cannot be changed.

There was a time when optics made in Rochester New York by Kodak and Bausch & Lomb were as good as or better than any on earth.
Several years ago I bought a new in the box U.S. Army surplus binocular at a pawn shop near Ft. Stewart, Georgia. I also had a WWII B&L U.S. Navy binocular made in 1944. The Army one had filters made by, I think a company named Corion or something similar.
Anyway the old WWII binocular was optically superior despite having been around for many years.

They are probably working on justifying an H1B
