One of the things that always amazes me when I visit exhibits about technology from the 1940's through 1960's is how primitive it seems for something that had such a sophisticated result - e.g., exhibits at the Air and Space Museum about the Enola Gay, the V2 rockets, the U2 spy planes, the Sputnik, and early US reconnaissance satellites. Prototypes are usually clunky. There are a lot of failures along the way.

So what? American engineers are famous for developing something new and making it work

Like the commercial says, "Every time They tell you it can't be done, just remember all the times They were wrong."
