New on Kickstarter:
Build a death star
Pledge target $850 quadrillion
any takers?
Pledge level 2: pledge just four billion dollars for a ride in Lord Vaders Tie fighter!
you may be suprised how many cash will get in , but i seriously doubt you get all the money together.
By the way the price of the project isnt correct.
It's mainly that high because of the specialists that have to build it, not because of the resources needed. but the same specialists that the us offers can be replaced for equal qualified specialist from elsewhere.
The construction isn't the problem ,it's actualy pretty easy to design and build.
Right now the (partialy unknown) radiation is the problem together with the spacedust/rocks damaging in long term the system wich will raise maintenance costs to unbelievable high cost.
So as long as we have no answers on space radiation and no shields to keep space from damaging the station , it won't happen.
All the rest is easy .. realy if they could have done it , they already had 20 years ago.
