Human ambition can carry a price tag above $2 trillion. 💰🚀
The Burj Khalifa cost about $1.5 billion, while NASA estimated Webb’s full lifecycle at $9.66 billion. The International Space Station reached roughly $150 billion, and Apollo cost about $257 billion in today’s money. At the top, the F-35’s $2.1 trillion figure covers a military program designed to operate for decades, showing how lifetime costs can dwarf even the largest buildings and space missions.
