Well it's about time.

Secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016.
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/secure-resources-and-funding-and-begin-construction-death-star-2016/wlfKzFkN



29,000+ have signed and demand a Presidential review.

On a side note:  I fully expect Nancy Pelosi to recognize the Jedi religion too.

the British already do.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Ha-ha!  Foolish Americans!  Canada already has a fully operational Deathstar..and since you are reluctant to provide us with the location of the Rebel base, we have chosen to test the station's destructive power on your home planet of Earth!  Soon we will be in range of your pathetic nation and then you shall see.....umm....errr....hey! Didn't ANYONE notice that they're right next to us?  C'mon people!  WTF!?
Now, the problem is, how to divide five Afghans from three mules and have two Englishmen left over.

I read an article once, I wish I could remember who it was, but a military
analyst projected using all the historical facts and figures available that
at a future point not long from now the budget of the USAF would equal
the entire GDP of USA and it would consist of one aircraft.
So I guess so.

somewhere theres an article where some egghead came up with a 860 quadrillion dollar price tag.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

I think I read that article. In the comments one guy said "Can anyone say 'Kickstarter?" and another complained that he found this part of the internet hard to masturbate to.

I assume there is a tie fighter fleet that is part of the of the Deathstar resourcing and funding.

Why not? A tie fighter would probably end up costing less than an F-35 by the time the latter is actually in service. Lets see if the Canadians are interested in chipping in...

nope
when you see a price tag for one of our carriers thats without planes or stores.
why would a death star be different.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Sadly, I do think that would be extra.

I'm more concerned about the configuration of the thermal exhaust ports. Maybe not making them a straight shot to the reactor core would be nice.

No way I'm paying for that. Do you know how much more labor that would cost? Nothing would be able to get through our shields anyway.

I've already complained to my senator. She's from Alderaan and has lots of pull in the Senate. She does lots of mercy missions and such.

Stop this funding fest right now!

We need to first work on the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development Syste (JCIDS) BEFORE we start talking about building it.
