The White House has rejected a petition to build a Death Star, a huge battle station armed with a superlaser as seen in Star Wars.
In response a senior US government official said the Obama administration “doesn’t support blowing up planets”.
The official also said the cost of $850 quadrillion was too high.
More than 34,000 people had signed the petition, saying the project would spur job creation and strengthen defence and wanted construction to begin by 2016.
The White House is obliged to respond to all petitions that gain more than 25,000 signatures.
While this is all very humorous and light hearted it’s also a big unnecessary distraction and a big waste of time.
The US government put these measures in place to allow US citizens to have a voice and let their government know which issues they want to see discussed, and in response 34,000 people sign a petition saying can you build us a Death Star.
Here’s an idea instead of 34,000 people signing a joke petition that wastes everyone’s time, why not sign a petition to get the US government to discuss gun control, shame on you Sci-Fi fans.
