I was on the WeThePeople website looking for the Piers Morgan deportation petition when I tripped over this jewel. Is this the the same NASA that can't afford to maintain a shuttle program? Over 700 signatures too! The trekkies have spoken! :lol:

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petiti ... p/DB07k8jF
Assign NASA to do a feasibility study and conceptual design of the Gen1 USS Enterprise interplanetary spaceship.

We have within our technological reach the ability to build the 1st generation of the USS Enterprise. It ends up that this ship’s inspiring form is quite functional. This will be Earth’s first gigawatt-class interplanetary spaceship with artificial gravity. The ship can serve as a spaceship, space station, and space port all in one. In total, one thousand crew members & visitors can be on board at once. Few things could collectively inspire people on Earth more than seeing the Enterprise being built in space. And the ship could go on amazing missions, like taking the first humans to Mars while taking along a large load of base-building equipment for constructing the first permanent base there.

For more information see BuildTheEnterprise.org.

UPDATE!
Screw the Enterprise, build the Death Star!
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petiti ... 6/wlfKzFkN
Secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016.

Those who sign here petition the United States government to secure funding and resources, and begin construction on a Death Star by 2016.

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.
Holy crap, it's got over 25000 signatures too! That means the White House has to respond! :lolling:

I'm all for it. In fact I believe that the only way left to snap humanity out of it's dark ages would be some kind of incredible event in space.

I've been seeing a lot of no deposit, no return statements from the Brits. I think we should keep Morgan here and keep tearing him apart.

He's getting a real eye-opener on what people actually think of him. We don't want him, his home country doesn't either... He mocked the petition at first, and apparently got all indignant when it reached the 25000 mark.

I bet the other commonwealth countries are trying to look cool while hoping we don't try to send him to Canada or Australia. We may have to negotiate with the Brits, like, we agree to take back Madonna if they take back Morgan.

I'd be cool with that trade. What Clarkson's proposing is lunacy though.

I think if we threaten to make him drive a Nissan Micra, he might fold.
