Between 1900 and 1975 the US managed to invent and bring into
production the airplane, nuclear power, computers, and the capability
to land on the Moon.

With the people born in the '30 and '40s. The millenials live in
mommy's basement and play X-Box. We were talking about 60 the last 60
years.

Well in all fairness, vehicles built in the US were pieces of crap from
72~2000. Progressively getting better year by year. Emission systems
that hardly worked and wasted fuel was not healthier for the earth.

And millenials had exactly what to do with that?
Nothing but before the millenials many things were poorly designed.

25% of the engineers and scientists at NASA are millennials. Maybe they
do live in their mommy's basements and play X-Box when they're not doing
rocket-scientist type stuff, but I won't fault them for that.

Something like 80% of SpaceX is millenials. The idea that the current
generation is (insert phrase like lazier, less intelligent, less
motivated, less patriotic) than a prior generation has been a meme amongst old people
for centuries, and it has never been true.

Define "US".

Besides, it takes more - a lot more - than "building rockets" for a space
program to succeed.

Moving on...

But thats not what you asked. Direct answer: The €œUS€�
i.e. the country, never made a rocket but US based
companies have and still do.

This better?

and a host of other, smaller launch operations here and worldwide
all developing various space (or supersonic and hypersonic passenger
planes) today.

Heck, SpaceX builds a new Starship almost each week.

I see you can't follow the thread either.
