Now they retired the shuttle no way to send a repair crew up there...

The Russian mission to the ISS also failed, crew made an emergency landing and is safe.

Statistics...

Software made elsewhere, hardware made elsewhere, that leaves the US with nothing...
Can the trend be reversed? I think not in the short run.

The empire is over the hill, and as all empires before it, will vanish.
Climate change will accelerate things. large migration, population changes..

A reality show host closing the borders for trade will cause the US dollar to
be replaced by some other currency, Chinese, European..
Starting an other war will not work as the 'enemy' has as many nukes as US,
even if you could get people to fight, they won't, they will sit down in protest,
unity lost.
Mr Xi will be visiting my country soon, and Dutch Chinese relations are the best ever now.

The markets took a big hit recently, US people lost a lot of money..
The high tech you need, the factories you need, the workers you need
are not there.
And you will not be able to buy those with a dollar that is no longer accepted.
The expertise is not there, the milking of the taxpayer for military nonsense projects like for example the F35
has made a farce of US defense.
Alienating your allies with tariffs and a gun to their head to sell your inferior weapons, creating wars to sell your weapons.
some other power will do that has the resources now.
Breaking promises, stepping gout of international treaties, claiming to be a capitalist state and being against free trade
at the same time, not a good thing.
Evolution, things change, stars are born and stars die.

Success with finding 8000 engineers with any experience.
Where would they have gained experience? 
Everything is made in China.

Yes, nano nano, higher switching frequencies, short wave is already 100% polluted, next GPS goes out due to interference of switchers,
next .. chips emit light.... mm satellite TV interference
better stop here.
Does not sound all that optimistic now does it ;-)
