well it depends, looking for sizes I also found this

a small quote

OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE RESPONSE TO Secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016.

This Isn't the Petition Response You're Looking For

By Paul Shawcross

The Administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defense, but a Death Star isn't on the horizon. Here are a few reasons:

• The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it.
  
• The Administration does not support blowing up planets.
  
• Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?

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

It was a giant space station that had a lazer on it that could destroy planets, so yes, it was about the size of a small moon, probally just smaller than ours

 

[eddiesolo]

Rob, at 1/16 scale you are looking at a model equaling-32808 feet! That's for the 160km Deathstar...think that maybe a tad too big

Si

 

[downscale model art]

sh.....t

 

[eddiesolo]

sh.....t

Indeed Rob...either, you have been had or, the scale is wrong somewhat

 

[eddiesolo]

The 160km Deathstar= 524 934.383 feet that's before converting to inches and doing it at 1/16.

The 900km Deathstar= 2 952 755.91 feet, again, that's before converting to inches and converting to 1/16.

To be honest Rob, and I'm just spitballing here...but, on the face of it, I really think you're going to need a bigger shed.
