http://www.centives.net/S/2012/how-much ... eath-star/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.

there is a flaw in there ....
getting the metal up in space.
A short cut, and less expensive way would be to mine asteroids.

Here's an idea people.
Make flying in space a possibility first.

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

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).

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.
