All of this happened because of America's unparalleled innovation ecosystem.

This ecosystem is the result of the uniquely American cooperation between academia, the private sector, and the federal government.

...

No one entity could have achieved this historic milestone on its own. Instead, academic, industrial, and government teams worked together from the bottom up to push the boundaries of science and unlock new potential for human advancement.
