Back to Jon:
GURPS Space gives advice on the minimum population for a start-up
colony; your generation fleet (it needn't be one ship, and probably
shouldn't be) should probably have a bit more than that. After all,
the fleet itself is essentially a colony already.
4E Space suggests 10,000 colonists. My tentative numbers come
in at $20M per person. Ugh.
That's way cheap. $200,000,000,000? that's nothing to a mature planetary
economy.
Yeah. $200 billion? That is only a few B2 bombers or a GM bailout.
Probably need to account for another $100 billion in political graft and
"extras" to provide jobs for various Congress/Parliament districts.
