Title: I'm surprised Timmay missed this: Kickstarter for a Death Star
Post by: grumbler on March 20, 2013, 08:58:42 AM
With the refusal of the White House to fund a Death Star (https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/response/isnt-petition-response-youre-looking (https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/response/isnt-petition-response-youre-looking) ) some Brits have started a Kickstarter campaign to fund it: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/461687407/kickstarter-open-source-death-star?ref=category

Stretch goal:  543 quadrillion British pounds (based on the White House estimate)

Make sure you read the Q&A.

I thought it was funny.  For a one time deal, faux kickstarters is the sort of thing that quickly gets old.

While I'm skeptical of KS, I do have some high hopes for it.
