critics to the calculation
Two points to the argumentation of the calculation:
1. Because of the almost uniquity of earth (in economic terms) its value has to be calculated based on the current replacement value. Which includes space exploration, sample tests, probes, terraforming, settlement, transport and the required R&D.
2. The argumentation that 8 ppl had at least cost x mio $ and therefore all ppl. would cost x/8*population $ is wrong because of disregard of several synergy and multiplication effects. The world is not linear but systematic and therefore not even linear approximations are valid in my point of view.
