it's actually a very beautiful sight. i compare it to when i was back in the states and we had a field op out in the open desert. vast nothingness as far as you can see. the stars shine bright and it's just peaceful.

so they just happen to cost the same amount 10 years later, even after inflation. Plus they were built at roughly the same time under the same contract, and thus would have cost nearly identical amounts when new.
