Where Are They Now? The Death Star

Oh, the Death Star.  It’s big.  It’s mean too.  Capable of destroying a planet with a single energy beam.

Lehigh University of Pennsylvania students published a piece pricing the Death Star based on the cost of steel to produce it. What as the number? $852,000,000,000,000,000.

The students assumed the diameter of the Death Star was 140 kilometers. Oh, and it would take  833,315 years to produce enough steel to begin work.

What became of this engineering marvel?

 

Oh.  My.  Goodness.
