How The Death Star Works-An Online Tutorial

Thursday November 3, 2005
Via Metafilter, you can now read all about how the Death Star works. Because, as you know, "that is no moon." Here's some highlights:
  • "Simply put, the Death Star is the most ambitious space station project in Galactic history. It takes more than a million military personnel to run this station, which is the size of a small moon."
  • "The Death Star's Superlaser derives power directly from the hypermatter reactor. The lasers convert and focus the full power of the reactor to create the beams."
  • "The general sector of each zone in the Death Star has a park, shopping centers and recreation areas that include restaurants, a cinema and fitness centers."
