anyone know how much they cost?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
particle accelerator: well over 500 million, not up to 600 though GTR2addict
It was the LHC. And the total cost of the project is expected to be 3.2–6.4 billion Euros.
F117 nighthawk stealth bomber: roughly 200 million each nuclear sub, just about 250 million, + reffiling expenses the swiss alps tunnel, over 300 million no idea on 12 and 11 taipei tower: 420 million particle accelerator: well over 500 million, not up to 600 though no idea on the bridge foton particle accelerator: 600 million to build, discharges about 50k with each foton discharge oilducts: dunno, but they make up for their cost aircraft carrier: price nearing 1 billion $, carrying lots n lots of multi million $ planes tunnel between france and britain: 1.2 billion building, + yearly 20 million for maitenance hell if i know what 2&3 are, but 2 is a water-power generator and number 1 is the international space station, cost almost 5 billion to get it going, and it costs millions every month to sustain itGTR2addict
I hope your kidding cause your guesses are way off.. A Nighthawk (out of commission no longer built or flown) are roughly 600 million, and the B-2 Spirits coast way more at a humble 1.4 billion a pop. A nuclear Sub goes for about 800 million., As for the rest Im not sure the only things that I quoted I know because Im an Airforce aircraft technician and my friend is a seaman on a nuclear submarine. There are alot of things more expensive than what was listed.

The Sky Scraper is not Tai Pai 101 it is the tower that is currently being built in Dubai in the UAE.battousai188the 101 is somewhere in Malaysia i think, that was the Burj Dubai

Ignoring the fact that it was built on the site of an old particle accelerator and so uses the same tunnel and the same super computersF117 nighthawk stealth bomber: roughly 200 million each nuclear sub, just about 250 million, + reffiling expenses the swiss alps tunnel, over 300 million no idea on 12 and 11 taipei tower: 420 million particle accelerator: well over 500 million, not up to 600 though no idea on the bridge foton particle accelerator: 600 million to build, discharges about 50k with each foton discharge oilducts: dunno, but they make up for their cost aircraft carrier: price nearing 1 billion $, carrying lots n lots of multi million $ planes tunnel between france and britain: 1.2 billion building, + yearly 20 million for maitenance hell if i know what 2&3 are, but 2 is a water-power generator and number 1 is the international space station, cost almost 5 billion to get it going, and it costs millions every month to sustain itGTR2addictyou seem to know what you are talking about

Ignoring the fact that it was built on the site of an old particle accelerator and so uses the same tunnel and the same super computers there ya have it, i was talking about the core structure, not what they put into it15: It's a B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber. Back in 1997, each of these aircraft would have cost about $737 million. Development, spare parts, and facilities B-2 Spirit would have cost $2.1 billion.
14: I'm pretty sure it's one of the Seawolf nuclear-powered submarines, probably the USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23). Full cost is about $3.5 billion.
8: I thinkit's theSan Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge. When it was built it cost $77 million.
7: It's the Large Hadron Collider, the longest and most potent particle accelerator in the world, located underground and crossing through both France and Switzerland. The total expected cost is to be around $4.1-8.2 billion.
5: Could be one of the Nimitz nuclear-powered aircraft supercarriers. Cost about $4.5 billion a pop.
4: The Channel Tunnel linking Folkenstone, Kent in England with Coquelles near Calais in France. It's 50.5km long. In 1985 prices, it cost about $7.1 billion. Inflated to todays levels, this price elevates to about $15.6 billion, which is an 80% overrun on the original budget.
1: The International Space Station. There are varied estimates to its full cost, ranging from $35 to $100 billion. Obviously one of the single most expensive things ever constructed by man.
