Best part? He’s supposedly an engineering student.

A Canadian man has figured out it would cost roughly $15 septillion ($15,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (that’s 24 zeros)) to build a “Star Wars”-style Death Star.

fuckyeahfacts:

Rysvard Gold, a self-described Web designer and “outlandish thinker,” came to this daunting figure by calculating the amount of raw material that it would take to build a moon-sized space station, and multiplying it by the cost of getting this material into space. Gold concedes he doesn’t even consider not-insignificant costs such as labor and trekking the steel around once it is blasted into the great beyond.

Unfortunately, $15 septillion is about a trillion times the current value of the entire Earth, so our lobbying effort to have a Death Star included in the U.S. stimulus package may be in vain.
