Build the Death Star!

[Capt Worley PE]

Those who sign here petition the United States government to secure funding and resources, and begin construction on a Death Star by 2016.

By focusing our defense resources into a space-superiority platform and weapon system such as a Death Star, the government can spur job creation in the fields of construction, engineering, space exploration, and more, and strengthen our national defense.

This reminds me of the personal politics scene in Clerks.

 

[Capt Worley PE]

That was my first thought too.

Do you need a Nepa document for space?

Do you need a Nepa document for space?

Does it utilize fed funding?

Are spare parts available from the mom n pop hardware stores??

Will this one be built with that inherent design flaw that a simple proton torpedo fired down an unshielded exhaust vent will cause catastrophic system failure?

Or perhaps we should make two - one with, one without.

 

[Road Guy]

Or what bout not building the tunnel or maybe putting some type of "shield" on it?

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

I wonder if they'll hire independent contractors to get this done quickly and quietly.

^ nah they have to use galactic union labor. This will impact the schedule quite a bit...

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

What are the preveilng wages on Coruscant these days?

 

[Dleg]

I just hope they include bathrooms on it this time. I did not see a single bathroom on the Death Star, either in the movie, or in the blueprints and cross sections books I bought... "for my son".

^I'm finding all sorts of fun toys "for my son" these days. I think my old RC hobby is about to get new life next year...you know....so my kid can learn how much fun can be had with RC cars and planes.

The Death Star won't be made of ice, will it? The prototype looks too cold.

I did a search on "exhaust port flap" and found this. Proton torpedo problem solved I think.

Heh heh heh, Death Star destroyed for want of a $30 flapper. Stupid Imperials.

The Obama administration has taken action as a result of the Death Star petition!
