Did the World Really Need a Volkswagen Imperial AT-AT Walker?? - Yeah I guess it kinda did because someone went out there and made this goddamn thing.

Yeah I guess it kinda did, because someone went out there and made this goddamn thing.

For my money, when I’m attacking the Rebel Base on Hoth, I’d rather have a regular old Imperial AT-AT. Seriously, We all know German Engineering is fantastic, but I don’t think this Volkswagen even moves.

What this really reminds me of is this link I saw yesterday. How much would guess the Death Star costs to construct? It’s not bad. Actually, it’s down right cheep. It only costs 15.6 Septillion dollars!!

First, assume that 1/10 of the 17.16 quadrillion cubic meters of the Death Star is something other than empty space and 6/10 of the total volume is pressurized space.
• That will require 1.71 quadrillion cubic meters of steel, about 134 quadrillion tonnes. That’s $12.95 quintillion in current 2008 prices, and that’s without counting strange alloys and elements.
• Shipping that to space will cost $95 million per tonne: So add $12.79 septillion in transport.
• Now you need to add air, which will require 8.23 quintillion cubic meters of Nitrogen, and 1.65 quintillion cubic meters of oxygen, for a total delivery cost of $2.81 septillions and $212.46 quintillion.

The total: $15,602,022,489,829,821,422,840,226.94.

So, basically the construction costs of this so called Volkswagen Imperial AT-AT Walker is nothing compared to building a Death Star.
