Well, it's just the iron needed to build it. Not counting weapons cost. Also, apparently it would require with current world extraction rates about 833k years to get the amount needed.

We better get started then...

a sure fire way to stimpulate the economy

[Drought]

there is a flaw in there ....
getting the metal up in space.

A short cut, and less expensive way would be to mine asteroids.

[Juliette]

Also. Iron? Seriously?

[Noobert]

Here's an idea people.

Make flying in space a possibility first.

[Juliette]

Who needs to fly when you have a **Filtered** Death Star.

[Jack]

Who needs to fly when you have a **Filtered** Death Star.

This woman speaks wisely.

[Poseidon]

Who needs to fly when you have a **Filtered** Death Star.

this is only a valid argument if you do not have a certain hole in the surface of said Death Star to defend

[Quina Quen]

I'm guessing there's no where near enough material on this planet to build this thing. I'm guesing we'll have to steal iron from another planet (or fifty).

[Poseidon]

lets just convert the moon

Put a metal shell cover on it, job's a good'n.

to cut costs, we could sponsor out sections to large companies for a considerable fee.

I'm sure Zuckerberg has considered consuming the souls of billions more living things, so a huge moon-based Facebook banner would be just the ticket for inter-galactic passers by.

[spoiler=this moon, despite being somewhat egg-shaped, would be a decent candidate...][/spoiler]
