Booooo...no Death Star for the USA :(
Yes, this petition was real, really did receive the 25,000+ signatures required and was really submitted to the government.
Their response?
* The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. In this time of economic uncertainty and fighting in Congress over the national debt, it seems that President Obama is more interested in reducing the deficit, rather than expanding it.
* The Administration does not support blowing up planets
* The government doesn’t want to spend “countless taxpayer dollars” on a Death Star that has a fundamental flaw that can be “exploited by a one-man starship?”
