Some days I think we’ve forgotten how to build great things. Or perhaps that we’ve just bound ourselves so tightly with bureaucracy, red tape, and the need for “social license” that we can’t build anything big anymore. Looking at accomplishments of the recent past, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to doubt that we’d be able or even allowed to do similar things today. But digging deeper, you’ll find that despite our challenges, we’re still capable of greatness. I hope these spectacular feats of engineering from our own recent history will inspire us to dig deep within ourselves, go forth, and build wonders.
