The table above provides the 2008 GDP ratio equivalent values for a number of American observatories and space exploration projects in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Projects at relative scales equivalent to $100 million to $1 billion were relatively common. It is worth emphasizing that the modern equivalent values calculated here should be taken only to indicate the order of magnitude of expenditure, given that other appropriate equivalent resource share values can be calculated; for example, rather than scaling the expenditure as a share of the total resources of the U.S. economy, the expenditure can be scaled as a share of the resources of the individuals who undertook the projects. James Lick was the richest man in California and the Lick Observatory expenditure represented 17.5% of his entire estate. The equivalent share of the wealth of the richest man in California today, Larry Ellison, is $3.9 billion dollars, approximately four times higher than the GDP equivalent share. LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE?
