      Could it be Great Wall of China? Very expensive in terms of labour cost (calculate cost of workers lost and work out how expensive in 20th century terms).

      It depends what is the currency of the operation - money, resources, human life.

                The Great Wall of China is a good one, as is the Great Canal.

                The b-29 program cost more than the Manhattan project, so it certainly is NOT the leader.

                Apollo sounds good, also the trident program (beyond Polaris).

                  Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                          The Three Gorges dam? Yes, it's quite expensive too.

                                Ted,

                                I don't understand this at all. First, it was Tassadar yesterday, then you today.
