Can anything be the most expensive thing on Earth if there is a non zero chance of it leaving Earth?
Most of the ISS price is shipping and handling

Officer this comment right here is warcrimes
In the beginning, he states how the price would be measured, and this included how expensive it was to create that item, so shipping counts.

And without talking about a sponsor of the video.
I wasn't looking forward to five minutes of chatter just to get a ten-second answer, but when he started getting into the presentation I became quite interested. Say interesting things and keep it moving, and time doesn't have to be painful.
But out of habit he worships the sponsor for 1.5 minutes straight before ending the video
The most expensive thing for me is printer ink cartridges
Oho
lol
Get an Epson/brother with refillable cartridges
If you get a new printer exactly the same as your old one you can return the old one and get free ink
Came here to make this comment. by weight ink tends to be the most expensive common item people buy.
On the serious side, Epson and canon both make reasonably priced printers now that use large ink tanks. Refill bottles cost less than normal cartridges and have about 10 times the ink. Have used both brands extensively in my business, and the canon is superior to the epson in every way, except that the refill ink is only available at Staples, and about 1 in 10 best buy stores. Probably not a big deal for a regular person where a single fill will last a year, but can get annoying if you are printing absurdly high volumes as I do. With both brands, the printers don't like long idle time between prints of more than a couple weeks.

I'd like to see this episode revisited with a 4th criteria: It has to be something that, if one had the money, they could actually buy. No one is selling the ISS.
Who even could like the UN?
At least it's possible to reproduce the ISS, as in building another one and sending it to space would result in the same value.
But the mosque? You can't just copy it and have it be equally as valuable. Although I'm pretty sure you couldn't build an exact replica of it and stay alive for over a year either, but I diagress.
But, if you really wanted to and you had the money and were willing to spend it, you could buy Apple, so that might be a better answer
@@headcanon6408 - Or Twitter, as Elon Musk is actually doing now.
I think they might but who would buy it? NASA spends 1.3 billion a year to maintain it and are going to spend 950 million to destroy it.

A question about the International Space Station's cost - how much of that is the physical hardware of the space station, versus how much the cost of getting that all in space? How much would it cost to build an identical one sitting on the ground? (I would imagine there actually might be such a thing, or at least enough parts to build such, used for testing, design, and planning purposes.) Is it so expensive because of what it is, or because of where it is?
Most of the ISS cost comes from getting everything up into space. It would have cost far less money if NASA had gotten the space shuttle right (it cost more money to reuse parts of it than to just build new parts)

I just want to say kudos for answering this question the right way. Not because ISS is definitively the right answer but because it's such a wobbly question and it needed this kind of "evaluating all of the options and deciding on an answer that feels right" sort of video. It was entertaining and satisfying in a way that videos that try to answer such simple questions like this often are not. Kind of dumb to write this all out but it's feels good to see things done well.
2:58 that guy has a “Totenkopf” badge on his head. wtf?
Wendover guy confirmed as member of ODESSA ;)
Guess the stock video guys like military reenactment's
Just your average SS-Guy looking for valuable art.
DEMONETIZED!!!
Sorry to disappoint you but the Totenkopf isn't really a Nazi symbol any more than the letter S (as seen in the SS) is. Or the symbol of the lightning strike. (as seen in the SS)
It actually has its origins in the skull and crossbones symbol/emblem which (as far as we know) dates back to the 12th century.
Sure, one can argue that that one particular design is the same one used by the Nazi's but it really wasn't exclusively used by them. The same way the Swastika didn't first appear on the Nazi flag.
If we are going to throw a fit over everything the Nazi's used or created then we should tear up larger portions of the Autobahn, dismantle the car manufacturer VolksWagen and send all of Germany back to pre-war unemployment levels and living standards.
Among many many more things.
Or we can just learn from our mistakes and simply not be as bad as the Nazi party was... We learn that adopting an "us vs them" stance is the breeding ground for hate, anger and suffering.

I suppose that’s correct but most of the cost comes from putting that thing in space. Also you really should do a follow up video figuring out what is the most expensive thing that an ordinary private citizen could buy assuming their only limitation is how much money they got. A private citizen can’t go out and buy a war ship or a stealth bomber.

Oak Ridge National Lab in Tennessee sells 1 nanogram of the isotope Ac-225 for $1000. That makes it worth $1 Trillion per gram, and is by far the most expensive thing sold on earth. That isotope has effectively removed cancer in human trials, and the only reason it's not more widely used (for Targeted Alpha Therapy) is that we have no way to make it in large quantities anymore. There are also other isotopes used in making superheavy elements that are very expensive. Look up "Thorium Cow ORNL" for Ac-225, and "Super Heavy Elements Periodic Videos" for the specialty isotopes used in that work.

Apparently the most expensive anything is a 400 guilder loan a smaller German town gave to Berlin about 450-460 years ago... (1 guilder is about 280,000 Euros today.) It had 6% interest, compounding over time. It seams Berlin never paid them back, and now thanks to the compounding interest the loan has a higher value than all the money on the Earth. (Heard it’s like 97 quintilllion Euros, but that may be a high estimate.)
Dude your transitions to the sponsors are really nice
The B-2 doesn't cost $3 Billion each, that is what it costs when you amortize the R&D into each aircraft. The actual cost to build each aircraft is about $737M, which is probably the most expensive aircraft but it is a lot less than $3B.
