๐ก The Smithsonian was founded by a man who never saw America James Smithson, a British chemist, never set foot in the United States. Yet his will left his fortune to found in Washington "an Establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge." In 1838 the money crossed the Atlantic: 105 bags of gold coins, worth more than $500,000. Congress argued for eight years, then created the Smithsonian Institution in 1846. In the photo: the Smithsonian "Castle," finished in 1855. Smithson is buried inside. Guess: which inventor brought his remains from Italy in 1904? Alexander Graham Bell, then a Smithsonian regent @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ

๐ญ The Empire State Building went up in 410 days Work began on March 17, 1930. On May 1, 1931, President Hoover pressed a button in Washington and the lights of a 1,250-foot tower came on in New York. At the peak, crews added more than four floors a week. The building stayed the tallest in the world for almost 40 years, until the World Trade Center in 1970. Lewis Hine climbed the steel to photograph the men who built it. Behind this worker: the Chrysler Building, the record holder it beat. Guess: how many floors does it have? 102 @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ

๐บ๐ธ The warship that earned the name "Old Ironsides" still sails On August 19, 1812, the frigate USS Constitution fought HMS Guerriere off Nova Scotia. British cannonballs seemed to bounce off her thick oak hull, and a sailor shouted that her sides were made of iron. Guerriere was left a wreck in about half an hour. The nickname stuck. Launched in Boston in 1797, Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world. Her crew are still active-duty U.S. Navy sailors. In the photo: Constitution under her own sails on August 19, 2012, the 200th anniversary of that battle. @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ

๐บ๐ธ America changed Armistice Day into a promise to remember every veteran The United States renamed Armistice Day as Veterans Day in 1954, extending the occasion beyond those who served in World War I. November 11 remembers the armistice that stopped fighting on the Western Front in 1918. Gratitude belongs to living veterans too: service is part of the countryโs civic memory, not only its monuments. @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ

๐บ๐ธ A tiny switch at Bell Labs helped make room-sized computers obsolete In 1947, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain demonstrated a working point-contact transistor at Bell Labs in New Jersey. Semiconductor devices could amplify and switch electrical signals without the heated filaments used in many vacuum tubes. Integrated circuits later put multiple components on a chip. The first transistor was a beginning, not a modern microprocessor. @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ

๐บ๐ธ Your phone navigates by listening to clocks in space GPS satellites broadcast their position and precise time. A receiver compares signals from several satellites to estimate its location and clock error. Atomic clocks aboard the satellites tick at a different rate from clocks on Earth because of motion and gravity. The system accounts for those effects. GPS is operated by the United States and provides civilian positioning signals worldwide. @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ

๐บ๐ธ An isolated city stayed supplied through a corridor in the sky When the Soviet blockade cut surface access to West Berlin in 1948, American and British aircraft brought in food, fuel and other essentials. Coal was the heaviest cargo. Aircraft landed on a tight schedule at airports including Tempelhof and Gatow. The blockade ended in May 1949. Airlift flights continued into September to build reserves. @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ

๐บ๐ธ A US city just voted to ban AI smarter than every human Bloomington, Indiana, has banned a kind of AI that doesn't exist yet. On November 4, its city council unanimously passed a local law against distributing or deploying "superintelligence". The law defines it as AI that "greatly exceeds the cognitive performance of humans in virtually all domains" and can act on its own, rewriting its own code or working without constant human oversight. Violators could face fines and court orders. Its author, councilmember Dave Rollo, cites researchers who put the odds of a catastrophe for humanity above 50%, one at 99%+. The first draft went further. It could have reached residents using such AI...

๐บ๐ธ Congress kept Yellowstone out of the real-estate market In 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant signed the law establishing Yellowstone National Park. The act reserved the area as a public park and protected its timber, mineral deposits and natural curiosities from ordinary settlement or sale. The National Park Service came later, in 1916. The park existed decades before the agency that now manages it. @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ

๐บ๐ธ Four hundred workers carved a mountain for 14 years without a single death From 1927 to 1941 crews hung off the granite face of Mount Rushmore in South Dakota, drilling and blasting. About 90% of the rock came off with dynamite. Each face is about 60 feet tall. Washington's nose alone is about 20 feet long. In the photo: Washington's face while it was still being carved. @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ

๐ก $538 and a rented garage were the whole plan In 1939 two young Stanford graduates, Bill Hewlett and David Packard, rented a house at 367 Addison Avenue in Palo Alto. The garage came with it. Between them they had $538, a secondhand drill press and an idea for a better audio oscillator. Their first big customer was Walt Disney's studio, which bought eight of them to test the sound for Fantasia. They settled whose name would go first on the company with a coin toss. They didn't need a grant or a ministry's blessing, and nobody had to approve the business plan. They started, sold what they built and put every dollar back into the company. Today that little wooden garage is a California h...

๐ญ The canal France abandoned took America ten years to finish France started digging in Panama in 1881 and gave up in 1889, after an estimated 22,000 workers died, most of them of yellow fever and malaria. The US took over in 1904. Army doctor William Gorgas went after the mosquitoes: he drained standing water, screened houses and fumigated whole towns. By 1906 yellow fever was gone from the Canal Zone. The canal opened on August 15, 1914. Ships between New York and San Francisco no longer had to sail around South America and saved about 8,000 miles. In the photo: Gatun Locks under construction, about 1913. @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ

๐ 1930s, 1960s or today: which America built bigger? In the photo: a worker on the steel frame of the Empire State Building, 1930. The 1930s gave America the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center and its first long-distance superhighway, the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The 1960s had Apollo, the interstates and the jet age. Today it's reusable rockets, chip fabs and AI. @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ

โ๏ธ The first airplane flight was shorter than a Boeing 747's wingspan On December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Orville Wright flew 120 feet in 12 seconds. A 747's wings measure about 195 feet tip to tip. The brothers flew three more times that morning. On the fourth try Wilbur stayed up 59 seconds and covered 852 feet. Orville had set up the camera and asked John T. Daniels of the local lifesaving station to squeeze the bulb. It became one of the most famous photos ever taken. In 1969 Neil Armstrong carried a piece of the Flyer's wing fabric to the Moon. @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ

๐ก The man who stopped polio refused to patent his vaccine On April 12, 1955, scientists announced that Jonas Salk's vaccine worked. It had been tested on about 1.8 million American children, the largest medical trial the country had ever run. That day Edward R. Murrow asked him on CBS who owned the patent: "Well, the people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?" In the US, polio cases fell from about 58,000 in 1952 to under 1,000 in 1962. @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ

๐ฝ After 25 hours of British bombs, the flag was still there On September 13, 1814, the British fleet began shelling Fort McHenry in Baltimore and kept it up for about 25 hours. At dawn Francis Scott Key, held on a ship in the harbor, saw a huge American flag still flying over the fort. He wrote the poem that became the national anthem. That flag, 30 by 42 feet, sewn by Mary Pickersgill, hangs today in the Smithsonian. @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ

๐ฏ In 1919 the Army needed 62 days to drive across America In July 1919 a convoy of 81 Army vehicles left Washington, D.C. for San Francisco, about 3,250 miles away. Roads turned to mud, bridges broke under the trucks, and the trip took 62 days. One of the officers was a 28-year-old lieutenant colonel, Dwight Eisenhower. In World War II he saw Germany's autobahns. As president he signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, which created the Interstate system, today more than 48,000 miles of highway. In the photo: the convoy pulling a truck out of a hole near Bucyrus, Ohio, July 1919. @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ

๐บ๐ธ New York dug a water route that pulled the Midwest toward its harbour The Erie Canal opened in 1825, joining the Hudson River at Albany to Lake Erie at Buffalo. Boats could reach the Great Lakes from the Atlantic without crossing the Appalachian Mountains by wagon. Locks carried them between different elevations. New York State financed the project. The waterway helped make New York City the commercial gateway to the interior. @u_s_a ๐บ๐ธ
