I have been toying with the idea of a laser satalite that destroys milliles coming tward my nation. Of coarse, that would take billions of dollars . So... naturaly I turned to the rest of the world!

The satalite would revolve at the same speed as the earth (or re-probgram it to revolve around amother hevenly body).

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A SPACE-GOING NATION TO LIVE UNDER IT'S PROTECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One unit will be 100 billion dollars to investors (in invested money)
Production rights will be limited to investors (if investing 150 billion+ dollars)

Investors will not be allowed to re-produce the rights, ore give their rights to any other nation (including "pupit" nations)

Satalite will be capable of destroying 1 missile every ten seconds(without harming any civilions)

The estimated cost is 500 billion dollars

You only joined today... a satellite does not only take money it takes research. It takes man power and lots of it... it takes hundreds of rockets to go up beofre it to learn and research. IT takes a lot more than just magically chucking it in to the air.

You need a launch pad, very large and expensive vehicles (by large i mean there so large they take three days to travel from the hanger to the launch pad, there so heavy) to tranport the shuttle. Shuttles are also hard to perfect.

Well seeing as the post is a direct copy of M-pire's i would say either we have a puppet or the stupidest selection of post to copy.


Oh and the Crookfur Space Agency (CFSA) will happily donate a super tanker full of single malt whisky when you succesfully achive distruction of a static stressed chicken target.
