That's no moon, it's a space station!

Coming from the category of having way too much time on your hands is a report on exactly what the famed Death Star would cost in U.S. dollars to build in the current economy. Don't ask me exactly how they calculated it all, because math hurts my brain, but apparently they found out what all the materials cost, along with the supposed dimensions of the famed Star Wars space station, and whamo. So, are you ready for a really fun number?
$15,602,022,489,829,821,422,840,226.94
Just in case your trying to figure out the number, I'll help you a bit, it's $15 Septillion, or 1.11 trillion times the amount of money currently in the world (note: there is a difference between circulated, and total, this is total).
Now, I know what you are thinking, that's a pretty hefty investment for something that can get blown up by some snot-nosed guy who has only shot Womprats in his T-16 before this. But, if you wanna rule the universe, it'll take more than the force, and James Earl Jones.
