Thnx 4 sharing , really awesome things
Yea interesting post.
Wow I wan a satellite like that!
Can someone post a time relevent economic picture of these objects…
The Alaska Pipeline cost $8b in 1977… how much wud it cost today??
aeiQu, now they approximate the Alaska Pipeline might cost between $32 billion and $40 billion today.
Olkiluoto is 4.7 Billion, I thought this post could be a cool one but it’s not.
4.7 Billion? But in Wikipedia, it’s written in 7.1 Billion…
Olkiluoto maybe is 4.7 Billion in Euros. 7.1 would be Dollares, then.
And CERN is not a country! I hope it was just a typo, but maybe it is just geographic ignorance.
Yup. I’m following Dollar. Sorry for the mistake.. Thank Lala…
wow! very expensive!! nice list! enjoy reading it.
way to expensive!! :S
I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.
wow! I really enjoy reading it.
