Based SOLELY on Abhi's descriptions, I'm figuring the following thus far....
The ship, it's longer than the moon, it's also somewhat hollow, it also doesn't have the same volume as the moon.
Check it (rough calculations):
Volume of Moon = 4/3 x pi x r^3 = 4.187 x 1079.5 miles ^3 = 5 266 672 639 cubic miles.
Volume of Space Ship = 3.14 x r^2 x length = 3.14 x 300 mile radius x 3000 miles long = 847 800 000 cubic miles.
Assuming I have all of the calculations correct, the Moon has a volume about 6.5 times greater than the ship. The moon is also solid, the ship is not. Granted, the ship is probably made of heavier material, but realistically, the ship isn't going to be quite the same mass as the moon, unless the comic states such.
When he says 'Cannibalized an entire system's resources', he's talking about building a ship that size...which is presumably made of metals, various rare earths, and other things. But not all of the carbon, the silica, and other things that make up a system are going into the ship. Basically, it doesn't weigh as much as a whole system (impossible, anyway, if it's only a little bigger than the moon and not made of depleted uranium or something).

Nah, the scan makes it clear.
Yes, It does.
per Byrne, his Superman's self doubt would have prevented him from moving the planets. fabricating an explanation allowed him to overcome that established aspect of his powerset per Byrne.
But please, let's see how obtuse you are.

I'll view the photobucket links later, and address that too.

@panthergod, that's an absolute made up lie. Prove it right now, I've read more Superman than you and have never heard about anything like that
