The Astronomical Cost of Building the U.S.S. ENTERPRISE

Ever wonder how much is would cost to build the U.S.S. Enterprise in real life? Well, Gizmodo did a great detailed breakdown of the costs of the raw materials used, staff, Holodeck, photon torpedos, and more. The total cost ended up coming in at an astronomically ridiculous  $478,947,711,160.

So that's never going to happen, but it's a fun bit of information. Make sure to head over to Gizmodo for the full breakdown to see how they came up with that number. It's sad that we'll never see a real enterprise get made.

The closest we ever got was the life size replica hotel and casino that was almost built in Las Vegas. You can find more info on that here.
