Wolfram didn't answer "how much would a solar mass of hydrogen cost" for me, but it did tell me that the solar mass is 1.988435×10^33 grams, and another search found hydrogen prices [1] in the range of US$ 250 to 1350 per MT ... So just the financing on building another sun is going to be tricky.
[1] I know it's not all hydrogen but we'll burn those bridges when we get to them.
- PebblesRox 4y agoGotta budget for some extra hydrogen to burn the bridges.
- burnished 4y agoOof, and you didn't even factor in extra-solar shipping costs. Thats most of the expense, really.
