The construction cost of the Death Star has been calculated
In anticipation of the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which focuses on the abduction of the Death Star's plans, Twizzle has attempted to calculate the cost of building the main unit of the Galactic Empire. The calculations took into account the diameter of the first Death Star (about 140 kilometers), the amount of steel that would be required for a spacecraft of this scale, the cost of producing materials and transporting them into space for subsequent installation. The result is a sum of 22,452,000,000,000,000,000, which is $ 22.4 quintillion. The study emphasizes that it is about the cost of the Death Star itself, excluding its equipment, defense systems and propulsion systems. It is noteworthy that the interior of the Earth contains enough metal to create two million such battle stations, but only a small part of it lies in the immediate vicinity of the surface, and a large part - in the core of the planet. Recall that in 2013, a petition was registered on the official website of the White House, urging the US government to build a Death Star. She collected 25 thousand signatures necessary for consideration at the official level. In response, the American authorities declared that it was inexpedient to create such expensive spacecraft and were forced to raise the threshold for consideration of citizens' petitions to 100,000 signatures.
