Some of our fellow geeks have come up with a way to help our nation’s unemployment rate AND strengthen our military at the same time. What is it? They’re petitioning to build a Death Star.

From the petition:

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.

No word on the color of the final product but if it were built, it surely would be painted red, white and blue instead of the drab grey.
