Death Star = $15 septillion


Posted February 5, 2009 by Matthew Price Comment on this article Leave a comment

Multimedia Mike Koehler points out this site calculating the cost of building and launching a Death Star, like in “Star Wars.” The cost? About $15 septillion, or 15 followed by 24 zeroes.

I have one small quibble, as also pointed out here:  Wasn’t the Death Star built in space? Thus, the launching costs wouldn’t be accurate. (Though I guess the materials have to get there somehow.)
