Sage: An atomic bomb kicked off the biggest computing project in history

I live a few miles away from an old SAGE blockhouse [1]. It's still imposing today - basically looks like a giant block of cement. It's interesting to see pictures of the inside of one of these things when it was in use.

The Computer History Museum in Mountain View has good exhibit on this. The sheer scale of the project was incredible. And rendered obsolete in a few years by the advent of ICBMs.

Pretty cool seeing that the consoles had a place for your cigarette.

Would we be able to execute on a project like today, ignoring political party factors?

I mean to ask: do we have enough mature entities in our industry and academia to pull of a project of this scope in 2025?
