Got some bad news for all the Star Wars fans. The petition that you guys made asking the US government to make a real Death Star has been rejected by the president Barack Obama. Apparently “The Administration does not support blowing up planets”.
The White House had some pretty obvious reasons to reject this petition. Check out the excerpt from the official statement.
The Administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defense, but a Death Star isn’t on the horizon. Here are a few reasons:
- The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We’re working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it.
- The Administration does not support blowing up planets.
- Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?
There you go. No Death Star, forever. And as a bonus for this silly petition, The White House has also toughened the rules. Now it requires 100,000 signatures within 30 days in order for a petition to get an official response.
So, this is it, it’s time to find a new Darth Vader and start building our own Death Star. I can be the chosen one. Just one question – Who wants to lend me $850,000,000,000,000,000?
