Outdated info. He now needs another approx 94000 signatures since the White House upped the number a few days ago.

Only $983 billion to produce?
That's only a single obamaCoin

[dalereed]

Lock up this nut!!!

[ScottinVA]

Starship Enterprise, eh?

Ummm... with what $$$?

[Lx]

BTE-Dan stresses that the ship would not be an exact replica as the technology does not exist, but he feels that using the design of the iconic ship would bring more public interest and enthusiasm in the American space program.

That' rather an understatement. So, he wants us to build what is in essence a shell thank looks like the Enterprise while we lack the technology to even power it?

I'm thinking:

1) No matter-antimatter.

2) No gravity like the enterprise unless he plans on rotating it.

3) No impulse or warp drive.

4) Not to mention a large amount of red suits for all the people who will die on this thing.

5) Transporters.

6) No shuttle unless he wants to rip the decommed ones out of a museum (I could support this).

7) Clearly the only one with the ability to Captain it would be Obummer and that I can get behind.

8) Oh yeah, a vacuum/carpet cleaner that picks up the goo remaining of the crew the second they go into warp if that is ever possible.

What?!?! No warp speed?

[RetroSexual]

Totally legit, looks like another shovel-ready project. :/

[BCW]

Will the Moslems be invited to help out?

[rightsmart]

I am signing this because a little green guy just ran out of a giant shimmering disk and told me “build the Enterprise and find the black obelisk you must.” He was being chased by silver dinosaur with acidic blood so it must be true.

The engineer and his Chief Science Officer discussing the feasibility of warp drive...

[fattigermaster]

Freeman Dyson worked on the Orion Project to study the feasibility of nuclear engines for spacecraft, and thought he could build a nuclear starship for about the cost of a Trident submarine which was current at the time of the quote. Downside, no one would want to be downwind of the radioactive exhaust when it lifted off.

[Fresh Wind]

I heard the Sepia House has already rejected a plan to build a Death Star. I don’t think this one will be approved either.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Now to iron out the bugs in the warp drive. And figure out how artificial gravity works. And force fields. And impulse engines. And about 12,000 other things.

[SampleMan]

What an idiot. Stargate is what we should be building, or at least teleports.

[INVAR]

Building the Enterprise?

Wrong franchise for this regime.

We only have the ability to create the Debt Star, a powerful government able to destroy an entire economy.

Without the replicators, phasers, photon torpedoes, shields, warp drive and transporters it is just a pretty space liner.
