Texas wants your thoughts, so damnit give us them! :sunny

We apologise in advance for some of the images not being the greatest in the world, but hey-its all I could find. Y'know, its shocking how few pictures of massive orbital obliteration devices there are out there..... :wow :sigh


I should just say this;
*Raises Mega-Phone*
I don't care waht your excuse is, you can not change your vote once it is cast. This is because a team of trained Polar Bears are sitting in the office counting every vote, and unlik your browser they don't have a back button! :wow
*Lowers Mega-Phone*
*Sprays crowd with fire hose*

Sorry, got a little too excited with the Mega Phone y'know.

Mr. Secretary, is this Orbital Obliterator something in addition to the Missile Defense System we're going to be installing on the New Alamo?

I must say, that is the first time ever that this forum has eaten my posts! *NS flashback....*



Anyway,

No it aint Mr. J'mac, it's just what we were cal;ling the images we were trauling through earlier to find designs suitable for the Texas Star Wars Missile Defence System.
I do like it though....However, unless you have any concerns about the slightly longer version Mr. J'mac I beleive it would be in our best interests to leave it as it is. No point taking back steps now is there?


PS. Do you prefer Deputy or Assistant Secreatry of Space?

I'm afraid you completely and totally lost me with this sentence. I have no idea what it is you're either asking me or to what you're referring.

As regards to title, Assistant Secretary is fine.

I was just asking if you had any doubts about calling the Texas Star Wars Missile Defence System, well the Texas Star Wars Missile Defence System.

Yes, Mr. Secretary, the Texas Star Wars Missile Defense System is called the Texas Star Wars Missile Defense System (TSWMDS if you must).

We were kind of planning of mounting it on the bottom of the spires on New Alamo - one on each - protecting 200 nations each. But, if you have a better plan...

Well thats what I thought, but I really couldn't find many pics. So, I figured that some of those designs could be easily attatched to the New Alamo. If your not happy, just say and i can go scouting again? :whip

I voted for D. Option I looks like it's bigger than the NewAlamo...

I think its all preportional.

I think D would look better attatched to the station though...

We are leaning toward D also but havn't decided. We think if we put two of those bad boys on the spires on NewAlamo, then they would be like the The Ceiling Fans of Doom!

Or it might make the NewAlamo look a bit like a Chinook helicopter.. :)

I'm goin' with the ceiling fans of doom! Can you possibly think of a better way to die than being killed by giant fans from space? Oh, you can? Well aside from that, what could be a better way to die?

My preferred way to die is being shot at the age of 112 by a jealous husband who just found me in bed with his 19 year old wife. :)

Other than that, I'd like to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather did, not screaming in terror like the passengers in his bus.

What about synchronized orbital satellites with the devices on the satellites?

Ahhhh, but they don't have the advantage we do with Design D-a cool refreshing fan blown breeze! And also, the Texas Syar Wars Missile Defence System was devised in the past governments term to be attatched to the NewAlamo so I can't screw with that too much.

Thanks for your ideas though, they sure are welcome.
