Sure lets give our money to a stranger to build something totally illogical!

Obama administration or Israel will blow up the death star.

Investor beware.

These parts made me laugh:

Goal

£20,000,000 for more detailed plans and enough chicken wire to protect reactor exhaust ports.

Stretch Goal

£543,000,000,000,000,00 ($850,000,000,000,000,000) to secure full funding for actual construction.


But...

RISKS AND CHALLENGES

The main challenge is assuring Kickstarter that this is a joke and not a serious project. As proof, the goal has been set high enough to make successful funding almost impossible.

Cynical view: So they pick the lower number to--on a crazy chance--actually get that and then pay themselves some awesome salaries while they get the designs speced out. :D

It's going to be Leonard V. Pepsico, Inc. all over again when some old lady finds the larger amount under her mattress or something.

Okay, seriously... when people donate to this, do the makers of this actually get to KEEP the money?!

Pretty sure if kickstarts don't meet their goal you get your money back. Something like that. I reserve the right to be wrong on this one.

No you're right. If a Kickstarter campaign fails to meet its goal all money is returned to those that funded the project.

A Cocoon or Bhunivelze would be cooler

At 10 GBP per backer, it'd only take two million to get it funded.

We don't need to do lots of building, we already have a rough build of the Death Star already.

Does it matter someone just going to come along and blow it up

Yeah it does: They Don't call it the DEATH STAR for nothing.

Someone will be sitting on top of a COPPER-TOP with enough juice to blow a Nation off the map. :D

Just think about it.

Don't like Mexican Food: Bang! Your gone.

Don't like Sushi: Zap!

Don't like Kim Chi: ....

:D
