This is one of the most famous pieces of the Midwest.

The Empire State Building.

Though famous for standing in New York City, it's made of Mesabi iron from Minnesota, turned into steel in Pittsburgh, dressed in limestone from little Oolitic, Indiana.

Made in the Midwest. Don't forget that.

Indiana or Ohio alone could be that nation.

Now imagine 10, 25, even 50 states working together for a common goal.

We have everything to gain by making our own stuff.

A nation that can build anything can become anything.

Bring back the 1960's space launch watch party.

Bake a casserole, wear some plaid pants, put something into gelatin for dessert. The works.

Time to get stoked about space again.

Glory to the Americans working in Great Lakes shipping.

Roughly 80% of the iron used in American primary steelmaking comes from open-pit mines in northeastern Minnesota.

The lifeblood for the steel mills of Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Ohio flows from Duluth to the Rust Belt through these iron-carrying vessels.

The men and women who sail them brave the waves and weather to keep the industry alive.

Today we remember 29 of them who died at their posts.

51 years ago today, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior with all 29 men aboard.

The Arthur M. Anderson, shown here paying tribute, was the last ship to hear from them.

May their souls rest in peace.

The Fitzgerald’s final transmission: “We are holding our own.”

Americans have a knack for moving metal.

We bring iron ore from Duluth to Conneaut.
We launch rockets and send satellites into deep space.
We build cars that zip around racetracks at 230mph.
We have military cargo planes that can carry 90 tons.

We have a drive in us unlike anywhere else in the world, and the freedom to unleash it.

Let's get back to move more metal. We're so good at it.

It's time for hardy people to make hard tech.
