Plans to construct real Death Star station in space!

Just went to one of our favorite websites www.instash.com and saw picture of Death Star! Apparently they are in works of trying to make fully functional and living Death Star in space! Article below:

http://www.instash.com/. Scroll about half way down!

Kickstarter Open Source Death Star
So you signed your name to the Death Star petition … big deal. Are you prepared to put your money where your mouth is and actually fund it? The folks at Gnut.co.uk are, and they hope you’ll join them in the effort to crush those Rebel snots. That’s right, you, too, can take part in a massive Kickstarter effort to build a functional planet-sized battle station.

In reality, there is no way in God’s green earth that they pull this off, but it’s not like they’re unaware of that fact. Hasn’t stopped them from raising more than $454,000 as of this writing, though. With a target goal of around $33 million, we wouldn’t suggest getting your hopes up, but it never hurts to try, right?

Even though it probably won't happen for years if ever but it is cool to think about!!

I wonder how high these people were when they thought of this.

I'm shocked (if true) that they managed to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars.

How did they make that much $$ on something that is NEVER going to happen...and they have a Target of only $33 million for a Planet size Space station? The US alone has spent over $50 BILLION on the space station we have now, and that's a tad bit smaller then a planet...

This is a Big Scam just to get $$ and amazingly ...it's working...


I think I will Start my own website so I can build a Working Delorean Time Machine....

They could always fly to the moon and call it a space station.
