Are we talking about biggest-projects-which-are-moonshots, which might tell us a lot about how to get funding or the things the public/governments like?
Are we talking longest-moonshots in the sense of furthest time horizon or least likely?
Are we talking biggest-moons-at-which-there-is-a-shot, in the sense of benefiting some aspect of civilization?
All of these seem reasonable, but might be worth distinguishing in answers.
Ok, I mean which existing projects are the biggest and also have a significant chance of actually achieving their objective.
Having a long time horizon isn’t a fundamental property of the answer, just a property that’s correlated with being the biggest but anticorrelated with being likely to achieve their objective.
I’m used to thinking of those more as “Megaprojects”. “A List of Megaprojects” is a great goal, but I feel like it might be worth clarifying that in the question up-top a little bit.
By way of clarification:

Oooh thanks for telling me about this term!
