Often there are a lot of new materials and technology that need to be invented, perfected, and productized before such revolutions can take place.

I think that's what vexes me so. The US has this long history of embracing "problems" as an opportunity to flex our creative genius and (truth be said) turn the solution into a profitable capitalist venture. Something has happened in the last few decades though. Now, instead of stoically facing problems head on, we strap on the blinders, cover our ears and shout loudly "Lalalala I can't hear you lalalalala there is no problem lalalala STAY THE COURSE!" We are capable of making something better (re: transportation) ... but will we ever do so again? “Its worked fine until now, but we are capable of making something better.”
