I've been wondering, how much would Kerbal money be worth in real life US dollars? I'd be interested to know because saying "Jeb you wasted $50,000 joyriding" doesn't have quite the ring to it as if it was a more realistic value, say $50mil. - - - Updated - - - Never mind. I used the price and weight of the in game MBeam 200 I beam and compared it with the current price of steel per ton in USD. One Kerbal dollar is about 4.43 USD. Still, Jeb's $50,000 spacecraft would still only cost about $221,250.
