Well, This Is Disappointing

 As calculated by Gizmodo, construction and launch of the USS Enterprise in real life would run a staggering $478,947,711,160.

Of course, much of the technology required to build the Enterprise doesn't exist. Whether it's the warp engines, the plasma coils, the photon torpedoes, phasers, or transporters, there's no way to know for certain just how expensive they would be. The price could run into the trillions, assuming such technology is even invented. It's entirely possible that humanity will never have the money or tech to build anything like the Enterprise.
