Yes but getting all that tech into a small enough package to operate in an aircraft is an amazing feat, particularly in the short few years it was done.

If we were talking all time it's have to say canned food. An army matches on its stomach.

The Manhatten Project is also the largest project as well as the most expensive project ever carried out by a single goverment.

Wouldnt it be easier to narrow down a list first? Then go to supporting arguments? You make list everyone votes yay or nay with option vote to hear a supporting argument on a given item. Then once ten are selected by vote we can have supporting arguments to help select an order greatest feat being 1 the order selected via vote after supporting/counter arguments.
