If we sold our planet Blue, how much would it cost? I don't see why we would sell it, and to whom; but imagaine we had to sell it for some reason. How would you price a planet, a planet that is inhabited and is rich in resources? I'd guess it depended on resources avalible, buildings constructed, economic state of the world... most importantly perhaps is the state of the atmosphere and of our planet it self. What do you think?

It's priceless.

On what grounds?

[Travis]

Hundreds of trillions of dollars at the very least.

Based on what? The planet itself, or everything on it... huh?

[Durracel]

it's price or it's value?
price is easy. it is worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. so i'll start of
£10

Natural resources, natural sites, land value, ocean value, the value of the inhabitants (not humans), all the things we've built, strategical position in terms of galactic events (if there is any strategic value, that is)

I don't think anyone or anything out there would bother buying Earth. Look at the planet! Dwindling resources, polluted air and water. Holes in our ozone layer. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? I would never pay trillions of dollars for Earth at all. Not to mention retarded people like the leader of the North Koreans.

If someone or something did buy Earth they would pay us then kill us all or make us slaves. Whats the point in selling we have it pretty darn good here.

Its a fixer upper bro! We can easily flip it and quadruple our investment.

So we can build a fleet and move to a better planet?

[N-Man]

Earth is rare. Very rare- life can "occur" here. And not just life- intiligent life forms, like us! If you ask a mother what is the value of her child, she will say priceless. Now, multiply it by seven billion, number of humans. Add the plants, the animals, the water, the recourses, the atmosphere... And you will realise that our Earth is priceless.

[Metadigital]

How would one "sell" a planet, anyway? Who would we sell it to?

That wouldn't work. Planets that can support human life are batshit rare. Since in your situation we need to sell the planet to build a fleet, would be better to stick to Earth.

If we somehow managed to arrange a deal where an alien species buys Earth, it is safe to say we've probably got advanced space tech.

Read both posts again.

In the situation you presented, we apparently need to sell the whole planet to build a fleet. So it would be really hard to get to another planet that can support human life first.

Just because the fleet is large doesn't mean it can't move fast.

How fast are we talking? Anywhere near the speed of light is virtually impossible, because of the pressure which causes the vehice to move even slower.
We'd need a massive amount of energy to compensate for that.

Man, I ain't no scientist.

Calypo is correct.
If you're not very good with physics, it's better to not discuss about it. Let's just talk about other things related to plante buying
