43. World's fastest Plane. Lockheed SR-71.

On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers flew the first airplane ever at 6.8 mph (10.9 km/h). Only 61 years and five days later, the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird took off. It's still the world's fastest airplane with a speed of 2,193 mph (3,530 km/h).

Yeah. . .asides those, you talk of space technologies and energy too. When it comes to Science/Engineering/Technology, I'm a sucker for them. . .

That world's largest container vessel, correct me if I am wrong but it built in Denmark, owned by I think Maersk? For the SR-71, I read sometime back that there are plans to make another SR-72, then you talk of scramjets (jet engines designed to take one to any part of the world in approx. 2 hours though not yet commercial). An excerpt:

On August 16, 2002, the University of Queensland in Australia completed the first successful flight of a scramjet vehicle, reaching speeds of Mach 7, or seven times the speed of sound.

61. Bering Straits Bridge: The proposed Bering Straits bridge will hopefully act as a transcontinental link by land, connecting Asia, Africa and Europe with North and South America.
This route was last crossed by humans 20,000 years ago during the ice age, when ice formed a bridge between North America and Asia. Today, 47 miles and some of the harshest Ocean and arctic conditions separate the two continents.
