The retarded thing about ROTS is that I'm pretty sure Darth Vader had no part in building or overseeing the construction of the first Death Star. It seems implicit in the dialogue of ANH:

VADER
Don't be too proud of this
technological terror you've
constructed. The ability to destroy
a planet is insignificant next to
the power of the Force.

By the sounds of it, Motti had it constructed, and he looked about 30-something years old in ANH by my estimation.
