I own the Star Trek Technical manual sets for TNG and DS9, a couple of compendiums about the OS written by showrunners, and a great series of books called "The Nitpicker's Guide", where a nerdy dude spends all his time pointing out the plot flaws and scientific mistakes in the Trek shows. So yeah,

They could have done like soap operas and replaced the actor by just

I took the info from the site and this is what I have so far: 2100 ft long
1532ft wide, 451ft high divided by 42 decks gives you 10.7ft tall per deck
but that does not take into consideration the design of the bottom half of
the ship, the landing bays, cargo holds etc.

Right, I was way off on the length of the Enterprise D. I was thinking of another starship. I used to know this stuff by memory. It's always struck me how much "wasted" space is inside Picard's ship. The crew's quarters--at least the officers--are huge by any standards, full of unused floor space.

we would have been pretty close to some of those things by now or at least a

Another thing that we have to blame is the larger companies PC companies
