Damn!

Quote:
The White House officially responded to a "We the People" petition to "secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016."
The statement from Paul Shawcross, the chief of the Science and Space Branch at the White House Office of Management and Budget, listed three main reasons for the White House's opposition:
1. "The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850 quadrillion. We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it."
2. "The Administration does not support blowing up planets."
3. "Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?"
The statement goes on to extol the Obama Administration's accomplishments in space policy, including sending a new probe to the sun and building a more powerful successor to the Hubble telescope.


The actual petition

It is awesome.
I'd rather the US did not build the death star mind :S they'd probably turn it back on Earth :S

Living in the UK, I'd rather they didn't build one either - not with their friendly fire record.

Are you certain they're not building on already?
