   Simple--you disassemble the assembled ISDs and use the materials to build as many SSDs as possible. How many ISDs did we determine you’d need to build one to-scale SSD? You should be able to squeeze a few out of 110 ISDs, right?

I dunno, it’d be cutting it close I think! The SSD is what? Like 10x the size of an ISD? Which, from an area perspective would require 100 ISD’s to have the same surface area. And the remaining 10 to try and give it some semblance of structural integrety. Wow. And not even remotely close to a Death Star.

Jeez! I hadn’t done the math and didn’t realize that the SSD was quite so huge.
The excellent radio program This American Life ran a story about living aboard the aircraft carrier USS John Stennis. One person had the tedious job of restocking the ship’s vending machines for the crew of 5,000, twelve hours per day. I know that droids would probably handle this kind of thing on an SSD, but yikes! How many Womp Rat Bars might the crew consume in a day?

Hey, while we’re on the subject, I came upon this nice SSD by Mike Taylor while googling for MEGABLOKS MOCs. Mike doesn’t seem to have mentioned it here on LUGNET, but I may be wrong. Though it’s not to scale with the LEGO ISD, it’s still a cool representation.

Dave!
