so in terms of taxpayer dollars how much do you suppose it costs to build something like a buster machine
>>13992617
More money than all of the Forbes 400 combined, less money than all of the Drug Lords combined.

>runs on two black holes
The fuck do you think?
Might cost less to mother fucking colonize space in real life.
But the real cost would be when the slightest thing goes wrong and now there's a black hole next to/on Earth and we're all sucked in.

Earth is facing an existential threat by galaxy wide aliens. The world shifts to a Total War economy, so expenses aren't what people care about.

>The fuck do you think?
It's complete impossibility in real world settings. I have no idea where to draw a point of reference so I have no idea WHAT to think
>>13992637
Didn't they collapse the Excelion's warp drive into a black hole inside the solar system (like, within the orbit of Jupiter) in ep5? Wouldn't that cause a few problems, even if they managed to get it to orbit the sun / accelerate it out of the solar system? Or am I misunderstanding what they did there?
>>13993265
It did cause some problems. The gravitational collapse apparently created some kind of shockwave that led to parts of earth being trashed pretty badly at the start of episode 6, and also kicked off the plot of SRW @G.

They detonated it in the orbit of Sol's 10th planet. the gravity wave alone fucked up Earth quite a bit, but in Diebuster, the Buster corps was keeping it contained.

Ah yeah, Pluto was a planet back then.
>>13993265
There could have been a gravity shockwave, but unless their drives are made of white dwarf star matter, that black hole should have had negligible gravity outside it's event horizon.
