Star Wars Day leftovers

While I posted two entries for May the Fourth here on Crazy Eddie's Motie News, Happy Star Wars Day! and Darth Vader on Dubstep, I used entirely different material in Overnight News Digest: Science Saturday (Happy Star Wars Day!) on Daily Kos.  Here it is.

Hello space fans, and May the 4th be with you! In honor of Star Wars Day, physics professor Rhett Allain of Southeastern Louisiana University took a look at just what it would take to the build the Empire's Death Star using only the Automated Transfer Vehicle robot cargo ships built by the European Space Agency. The answer: We'll have to wait a LONG time for anything like the Death Star.
I might use these again next year.  After all, I'm an environmentalist; I recycle.
