Someone has organised a petition in the USA to persuade President Obama to build a Death Star ......

The petition argues "By focusing our defense resources into a space-superiority platform and weapon system such as a Death Star, the government can spur job creation in the fields of construction, engineering, space exploration, and more, and strengthen our national defense."

 

Meanwhile, the Brits are building two aircraft carriers with no planes

The planes are part of Service Pack 1.

How Much Would it Cost to build the Death Star? | Centives

 

$852,000,000,000,000,000 to build and 0.8 trillion years to build!

The planes are part of Service Pack 1.

wouldnt technology advance enough to just build the deathstar-nano? If you build it smaller you wouldnt have to waste so much steel and you can even include an mp3 player etc

Deck Length 1.0?

 

No, mate, 'fraid not, you need to be at least Deck Length 1.5 and have the Arrestor Gear plug-in for landings.

 

If you want to take-off as well as land, you need Steam Catapult 4.2, that's due in Service Pack 2.
