We so cavalierly throw around a trillion. A trillion is a BIG number.
How many people do you think there are who might be capable of working on such projects? 10,000? If each was given a million dollars for salary and lab expenses, and remember that some of those 10,000 would be working together, that would be ten billion (with a B). A trillion is still a long way off.

Prove it. Send me a trillion dollars so I can see for myself.
