How big is the Enterprise? Well it's not 938 feet, that's for darn sure. It is 289.5 meters though. The foot measurement was a typo. 947 feet. Know it. Live it.
Why are the little blue fellows so TALL? Um, check out the logo...

  • Your use of sound effects is perfect.

    The only thing that bothered me is the fact that the average height for a human is around 6 feet. 6.5 feet means 6 foot 6!

    That's a basketball player.

    Besides it makes the ship look smaller.

    Fantastic job though.

  • Thanks, SpockBoy. 6'6" also happens to be my height. :)

  • Nice,and I agree it was a typo...no way Enterprise and Enterprise A were 970 meters long...thats almost a kilometer lol

  • Actually, the Enterprise was almost 1000 FEET long (the A was 1000 ft. even). 300 something meters. 1/3 of a kilometer. I wasn't off by THAT much! :)

  • @zipsrule (LOL) oh right,.last year.  My mistake :)

  • @SpockBoy I am refering to the medieval armor in your comment last year.

  • @zipsrule What "armor" are you talking about? Do you mean a spacesuit? If so I don't think he intended that. He just used the silhouette he uses for his business "Tall Guy Productions" :)

  • @SpockBoy The armor is "larger" when someone is wearing it. When it has been put on gaps are created to allow range of motion and movement. The gaps would have been covered by mail or articulated plates. Also, some of the armor displayed in museums etc... are 4:5 or 3:4 scale models that were used by armourers to attract customers. Much of the armour we see was unused and or display pieces that were never intended to be worn.

  • @hawk2495 Carriers don't stay underway for more than 6 months

  • @FantasticBob7000 Well She's not much smaller than a Nimitz class aircraft carrier, and they have a crew compliment of a little over 5000. 3200 crew, plus 2400+ for the air wing.

  • 2 things; the average height of a human male is 5'8". Also, the length of the original Enterprise, as stated in ALL original references(including "The Making of Star Trek") is 947 ft. Somehow she seems to have lost 11 ft to the metric system. Otherwise a great vid...PS

  • It's really not a big ship for 400 people to be cooped up in for 5 years.

  • @jongman321

    LOL- well you've got me there.

    I remember seeing medieval armor and noting how small the men must have been back then. :)

  • @SpockBoy ... yea but star trek is based 200 years in the future... so u kno...

    people do get taller by the generation sooo yea there is some sense of logic to this 6'6" issue =)
