A little short for a starship, isn't he?

305m is 1000 feet. The USS ENTERPRISE was 342m or 1,123 feet.

A modern day FORD class carrier is 1092 ft or 333m.

For personnel comparison, ENTERPRISE held ~5000 people and a FORD class has between 4-5000 people.

The fact that NCC-1701 only had like 1000 people is...a big difference.

I can understand that on a mathematical level, but on a more emotional one, it's hard to process. Just like I know that the speed of light is 186,000 mps, but I can't really fathom how fast that actually is.

I think the scientific term is "very".

It's actually "most"
