darthgroond Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Seeing as the American Government said no to this, some chap from Leicestershire is trying to get the funding together. Pledge and make this happen people... :D:D http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/461687407/kickstarter-open-source-death-star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeSaberRattler Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I think they are underestimating the cost to build it. I mean only 20 million that won't pay for enough chicken wire. You need at least 100 million for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need at least 100 million for that! Perhaps he has a friend in the business. Mates rates and all that. Maybe even only charging at cost. Might need another tenner or so though to block that pesky hole where the reactor is with MDF or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNCommand Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 There has been done calculations, and the more conservative ones place the budget to build it at equal amount of the world combined GDP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeSaberRattler Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 What's really crazy is that they already have 206,000 already pledged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got a bit of cash lying around not doing anything, have a pledge for the funnies. It's not like it'll ever reach it's target so the money isn't going to go anywhere anyway. Unless, of course, Mr. Lucas spots it and decides that this is the funding project for him. He owns all the monies, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick! Get on t'twitter! Surely there'll be some cash-hating celebs that are up for a pledge, even if it's just to make the guy with the project squirm as it edges ever closer to the desired amount. I bet he'd s**t himself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
