How much is the Death Star?

If you have in the account it has exactly $ 15.6 septillionov and 94 cents, and you have got a choice: to help earthlings in battle with the global financial crisis and build a Death Star to destroy the world and capture the universe to be her sole lord ... Whatever you choosed?

Ryszard Gold (apparently a stranger, no less) has estimated that the creation of the Star Wars legedny in the base and from the currently known to mankind materials with reference to the aerospace and transport prices is costing the customer a lot of money. Here's a quick summary of the price-list:

• To begin, suppose that 1/10 of the 17.16 quadrillion cubic meters of available Death Star is equipped area (computers, cabins, sheds, ...), while 6/10 of the total area - a wasteland.
• In a similar construction will require 1.71 quadrillion cubic meters of steel, approximately 134 quadrillion tons. At today's prices that's about $ 12.95 quintillion excluding the use of different kinds of alloys and components.
• Run all this canoe into space will cost $ 95 million per ton: to add the $ 12.79 price tag septillionov on transport costs.
• we need more air. Every room in the ship's oxygen supply will require 8.23 ​​quintillion cubic meters of nitrogen and 1.65 quintillion cubic meters of oxygen per dostavochku will have to pay $ 2.81 and $ 212.46 septilliona quintillion respectively.

Total: $ 15, 602, 022, 489, 829, 821, 422, 840, 226.94.

Yes Yes Yes. The 1.4 trillion times more than the current debt of the United States. Or even this: 124,000,000,000,000 years of war in Iraq.

Remember, for the money you can build only the most basic equipment of the Death Star - no GPS, radio, leather seats with heated and mega-lasers to attack vrazhestvennye planet. We'll have to do without turbolaser cannons, computers, barracks, turbo-lifts, generators, power shower, a Jacuzzi and air conditioning. You can forget about home theater and personal bar with light unfiltered. I'm not even going to talk about the cost of the mountains trays for your soldiers, as well as the cost of shipping tons of pasta nautically and rice on the ship. Most likely by double if Plus add the price of the assembly of the ship, and we get about $ 31 septillion.
