A Death Star? that will be $15.6 Septillion dollars Lord Vader - Geek calculates the cost of an actu - Polidicks

Wonder how how it took him to calculate it all though.

My girlfriend hasn't seen Star Wars either :( I may have to give her an ultimatum: watch Star Wars or I'm out the door and firebomb her house.

Never mind the monetary costs. If we were going to build a functional Death Star, would we even have enough resources available in our entire goddamn solar system to do so in the first place?

[QUOTE=Jasun;32333729]Never seen star wars, what does the death star even do?[/QUOTE] I'd expect people to at least know from cultural osmosis if nothing else

[QUOTE=tinhead50;32324103]If you want to really get nerdy, you could argue that figure is based off of using materials from the moon/mars/earth, and transporting it all. I bet you could cut that figure down to under 50 septillion dollars by simply taking a moon from saturn or jupiter and converting it. It also probably doesn't take into account that the entire thing could probably be managed by only 100,000 human workers controlling millions of robots, and instead thinks of millions of human workers. I know it doesn't state that, but I can't imagine it'd cost that much when most of the process could simply be mining/converting instead of building. In fact, it could even be built faster than the death star and be more effectively manned by less workers if you didn't make so many damn hallways.[/QUOTE] If we want to get really nerdy they probably used asteroid mining and such and thus the materials were significantly "cheaper", not that the Empire would have to even pay that sum because they can just take it.

Make one hella kickin' brothel

The Roman Empire comes to mind as an example, being as it was significantly funded by all the stuff they nicked from the victims of their conquests.

(I am not saying they used several planet's worth of materials, just that they didn't get it all from one planet)

Currency is obsolete in the Star Trek universe anyway
