Let’s Talk Numbers
The Enterprise in TOS was 953.7 feet long, which to put in perspective, is more than the length of three football fields. The Enterprise-D in TNG was 2,103 feet long, which was more than twice the length of Kirk’s ship. And that is the size of the Paramount Studio lot in Hollywood. And that’s a big lot.
Since we’re on the topic of numbers, consider this: on impulse drive, it would take 400,000 years for the Enterprise to cross the galaxy. So it doesn’t look like any of them will be home for dinner.
