If you had $15.6 septillion and 94 cents in your account, would you save the world from the economic crisis or build a Death Star, destroy the world, and move on to invade the galaxy?

To be Honest, it is possible to build it, but the Earth's resources will be completely extracted if the Deathstar reaches around 20% of completion. What would be the only option, is to find a planet or moon, "in the area" and extract the raw materials from there.
(To bad, I take this far too serious)

Can mine please come with an steel grate, so some damnable Jedi Knights don't come flying into my Death Star and drop a small bomb into my reactor and blow everything to hell. Just a steel grate, WILL PAY XTRA!

If I somehow managed to obtain the cash I would build one and hold the world up for ransom.
And to demonstrate it's power I would blow up all the other planets in our solar system.

You have a Death Star - you don't need money, not even the world for that matter.

Though you'd constantly have to be on the lookout for poison in your coffee, rattlesnakes in your underwear drawer and little things like that.

I mean, if you own a Deathstar, it makes Bill Gates' fortune look like pocket money...

Good point. But if one of you magicly recieved this vast sum of money would you.

A: Buy a deathstar and destroy the world.
B: Take the money and donate it too charity.
C: Keep it all for yourself and buy all the stuff you have ever wanted.
D: Purchase Zimbabwe.
E: Recruit an army and take over the world.

I would take C

*ahem*

prep. to:
In the direction of
Denoting infinitive case

adv. too:
To a degree exceeding normal or proper limits
In addition, as well


If it doesn't mean 'in excess' or 'as well', then it's 'to', not 'too'. Stop getting this wrong. It's not difficult.

I laughed so hard when I read that I fell of my chair and sprained my wrist. Seriously, that's funny.

Just try imagine for a second the Death Star blowing up Zimbabwe (leave you scientific reasoning at the door) and just think about how freaking funny that would be!

Yes that seems improbable but in Star Wars Infinities A New Hope the Comic, the Death Star destroyed the Rebel Base and didnt get to destroy the planet. You caould obviously choose how much oomph you want for the laser.

I don't smoke so maybe they can remove the cigarette lighter and I can save that 94 cents. :p

When I saw that figure I thought that it was an article relating to the inflation rate of Zimbabwe. But then I saw that they were actually serious.

Chicks swooning over a guy that owns a death star is not shallow. Maybe ambitious, but not shallow. :rolleyes:

I'd like to point everyone towards the most expensive component - Transport. If you can figure out a way to transport something from earth into low earth orbit with just an order of ten in the amount of relative expense, you would have advanced humanity by such a measure, that you can't even imagine how big the advance would be.

If we had the ability to build a Death Star I'm pretty sure transport would have been sorted by then...

And that's where the Spaceward Foundation (http://www.spaceward.org/elevator2010) comes in.

Space Elevators have problems of their own, including safety*, slowing down the speed (compared to the speed it's already slowing down to, of course I'm talking millions of years here) at which the earth would turn, etc etc.

*Edit: By safety, I mean the safety of the elevator itself, not the people on the earth.

I would still buy a death star but threaten anyone in the world who isn't nice to everyone else. Ergo keeping the peace by having the biggest gun. I would still stun Zim though-then someone could remove Mugabe and put him in a zoo with no blood shed.

Transporting information from one point to another is not the same as transporting matter from one point to another; even if you built a message receiver in space it wouldn't suddenly make matter appear out of thin air.

No, I think apples might be a better choice.

I never looked, does that price include the building costs? I bet that thing won't be completed in my lifetime even if I buy it. Maybe a present for my grandchildren;)
