the size of the star ship enterprise?

Question

if you could compare the size of the star ship enterprise from the next generation to any building on earth, what would that building be?????

Answer 1

I think its just a small model

Answer 2

The specs for the original Enterprise (NCC 1701) indicate is was to be about 288 meters long.
This makes it about 65% as long as the Empire State Building is tall (including the spire).
Or about 85% the length of the real USS Enterprise (US Navy).
I can't find specs on the full-size length of the Enterprise in TNG, sorry.

Answer 3

Just by looking at it, if you are wanting the size in the series and not in real life, I would say it is 50 or more stories high, and around half a mile in length.

I wouldn't really know for sure, but the Enterprise is pretty big. It's basically a small city

Answer 4

It's entirely possible that such a ship does exist. Somewhere in the great big universe it is entirely possible that a race exists who has mastered the technologies required to build a star ship capable of FTL travel. Moreover, who's to say that the ship isn't more or less analogous to a Constitution Class Starship? So, unlike the Atheists and Agnostics in your question, I will not categorically state that no such ship exists, only that I do not know where or if such a ship exists. The Atheists in your question have a very specific religious belief ... namely that God does not exist. I have no such belief regarding FTL capable spacecraft.

Answer 5

Hi. I would compare it to the Assembly Building at the space center. Our largest craft to date was assembled inside and the Enterprise would give it a good scale.

Answer 6

A doghouse. Not a jail. An actual doghouse. Actually, even that would be too big. To save money, the studio built a really tiny toy ship (like the "scale" models you can buy) and used camera angles to make it look big; they did not build a life-size one.

Answer 7

Based on the only site I could find that lists sizes, the NX-01 is (with the newer Enterprise shown for comparison):


..... ..................NX-01 ............. NCC-1701
Length: ...........225 m ..................289 m
Width :............. 136 m ..................130 m
Height: ...............33 m .....................67 m
