Well, if you want to essentially strip-mine earth for resources to build what was probably the most inefficient and impractical piece of "military hardware" ever to be created in the mind of anyone, be my guest, but don't blame me when the thing explodes when the reactor is first started simply because someone forgot to route power to the cooling system (or someone dropped an explosive device - or a hammer - down an auxiliary exhaust port).
