The associated link I just posted says (for the assembly) 1,300 people for 10-11 18 hour (2 shift) days. So that's 234,000 man hours for assembly! The entire build takes 10-12 months but it doesn't say how many people are involved. Edit - that may be 1,300 people across the two shifts, if so that's 'only' 117,000 man hours.
That's unreal. How many total man hours of labor you think?

Just astonishing. Can you imagine one person trying to do all that! I don't think there is enough time in a lifetime.
117,000 hours is about 40 years of 8 hour days if you worked 7 days a week. About 56 years if you worked 5 day weeks.
