The United States government has rejected a petition signed by 34,000 American citizens asking it to begin construction on a Death Star by 2016.
Would Seem that the current administration is not going to build a Death Star
Time to rise up against them America, Viva la Revolution!
There was a previous thread on this, and the actual response to the proposal was quite entertaining.

I give up, this country sucks and I'm moving to Fiji. How can we bring the galaxy under our control without a planet-destroying space station? I've lost all hope in America. It's over. Our time of prosperity is over.
The stuff about spending so much on a death star that can be destroyed by a single pilot, was great!
I wish someone would rage on them for spoilers. Would be funny...

Oh pease, a single ship took it down. At that price, so not worth it. I do hear Fiji is building a death banana boat...

only another 987 years til Neo Queen Serentity takes over. Time to find the nearest cryogenic chamber!
If I remember right they used some obscenely high number to estimate the costs. Gigillion or something else ludicrously out of the country's budget.
Clearly we need to alter the plan, and instead make it so we convert the moon into a death star.
geek1: That's no moon!
geek2: well actually it is the moon. But it's also a space station!
"The Administration Does Not Support Blowing Up Planets"
Nice to know.
Can't believe no one has put this up yet

SOOO can anyone else see Obama walking down the corridor of a death star with this music play?
Wonder if they redesign so it's cost is much more manageable would the us government get behind it then? My inner child demands a death star be created.
