Now I found this space x launch and landing catch just phenomenal, and very inspiring, which I think is inportant for humanity as a whole to see development and progress: this got me thinking what other engineering feats in recent times really blew your mind? Comment or share some video clips below!

I grew up watching the building of the New River Gorge Bridge from the very beginning until it finally opened. Many Sunday afternoon's my parents would drive us all up the road to see the works and grab some ice cream.
You can learn more about this incredible bridge here:
https://www.nps.gov/neri/planyourvisit/nrgbridge.htmI have a certificate around here somewhere for attending the very first annual Bridge Day Event when they block off half the bridge and allow people to walk on it. BASE jumpers leap off the bridge and one year I watched as one of them lost their life because their parachute failed to open.
I've also white-water rafted under the bridge a few times and highly recommend it. These days they also offer a special walking tour where you walk under the roadway across and back, but I have not done that one.
wow, thats beautiful! thanks for sharing! It looks ideal for a bungie jump off it!?
Jeezo that is terrible about the base jumper!
I'm amazed every time I see bridges that cross long stretches of river/sea and I wonder how they manage to build them.
