What is the cost of building Star Trek?

Within the world of “Star Trek”, we actually know the cost of building the USS: Exactly zero dollar and zero. “Star Trek” is done in Utopia after capitalism, where the money was extracted. Everyone still works, but it is better to be better, better serve society, or to serve others who care about them. Thanks to miracle techniques such as the fastest engines of light and the symmetrical copies that can call food from the air, no one wants anything, and citizens are free to follow their emotions. If you want to grow kumquats, you can grow kumquats. You may have to move to a planet that contains space to do this, but it can be arranged for you. Capitalist.

So it goes with the construction of coal. Starfleet ships are designed in a facility called UTOPIA PLANITIA, which revolves around Mars, ships (supposed) created from specially maximized materials, specially created computers and engine parts, and outlets of other recycled ships. People who build ships only focus on making the best possible ship, and preparing it with the best possible tools for their specific tasks; For example, the research container will get better wiping equipment. The transportation ship will have more space for passengers.

We are here in the twenty -first century, unfortunately, we still live under the yoke of capitalism, and we make the actual Starfleet ship like Uss Enterprise will cost a lot of money. Also, since we do not yet have a shipbia in Utopia Planitia at the present time, we also need concern about the cost of manufacturing materials needed to make a heroism using modern means. In addition, there is a issue of transferring pieces to space where they can be assembled.

This ship will run a beautiful penny.

The Foundation was, as seen in the original “Star Trek”, about 288 or 289 meters, or about 948 feet (according to the different fans’ sites). A similar vehicle may be made on the ground in modern times aircraft carrier. According to the site ElderlyThe largest category in the world of aircraft aircraft is the Gerald R. Ford, which is actually longer than the USS at an altitude of 337 meters, or 1,105 feet. A vehicle of this size costs $ 12.998 billion, making it the most expensive warship in maritime history. Gerald R. Ford needs to be a tight water, although it is likely that the institution is likely to be made and is suitable for traveling to space.

The Gerald R. Ford is much longer than the institution, but Starfleet is much longer and is a more interrupted ship. Suppose raw materials to make the institution equal in modern dollars. Of course, we do not know the weight, density, or the size of the fictional minerals made by the institution in the “Star Trek” world, so we will have to deal with a lot of this.

Nevertheless, the thing that must be taken into account is the amount of the cost of transporting the institution to the institution to space. If you think it costs a lot of building a plane carrier on the surface of the Earth, imagine the need to launch every ounce in the orbit using the missiles. Let’s also assume that our project is being built in orbit around the ground, and it will not be necessary to be transferred along the way to Planitia around Mars. What is the cost of launching a aircraft carrier in space? Of more than that.

In JJ Abrams’ 2009 “Star Trek”It was established that the USS was built on the ground, and it is supposed to be aimed at getting completely operating engines before taking off. This was not accurate for the other Creator of “Star Trek”, as happened in a parallel world, so we will ignore these details at the present time. Suppose we must launch everything with a missile.

According to the site Apollo11space.comThe PEGASUS XL missile, which was launched in 2023, costs $ 165 million to launch. The weight of the missile is 976 pounds, which means it costs about 169,057.38 pounds to be launched. The Gerald R. Hit it by 169.057.38 dollars for a pound, then cost only about $ 3.381 trillion to launch the USS cut into space. This is in addition to approximately $ 13 billion, which will be constructed. Money Digest is estimated There are about 83 trillion dollars on the planet Now, so we have money.

Of course, this is the cost of building a planes carrier size and firing in space. This does not explain the price of unknown elements (transparent aluminum, dedicated channels, gravitational generators, photon pours, etc.), and the cost of storing the institution with food and drink – for its 430 crew members. The site. Red shirts always die Theoretically, maintenance on a machine like the institution, using modern land dollars, will cost about $ 7 million annually. If “Star Trek” will return to capitalism, and Starfleet crew members have to obtain their salaries for their service, one can address $ 6 million annually.

Of course, $ 13 million a year for space mission is actually cheaper than ISS management.
