If you haven't heard, their was an online petition to have the Death Star built by 2016 and gathered over 25,000 signatures within a month, so the White House had to respond to it. Unfortunately the White House said it would be an "out-of-this-galaxy waste of money", and it is against government regulation to destroy planets.
Here some of the reasons they don't want to build the Death Star,
-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. (phhhht that's like pocket change for me )
-The Administration does not support blowing up planets. (Well... Their goes my plans to be a space bandito when I'm older.)
-Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?(Alright, that's actually a very, very good point.)
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] "A serious mistake, Mr. President. You can never have enough planet-sized lasers." ( and I fully agree. )
And if you think the Death Star would be a waste of time and money here are 6 reasons we need it.
What's your guys take on this? Should we build the Death Star or not?

And if you think the Death Star would be a waste of time and money here are 6 reasons we need it.
1) Successful completion of the Death Star would result in over 1.7 million jobs, including 343,000 crew, 286,000 support and maintenance staff, and 26,000 Imperial Stormtroopers ... err, United States Marines.
2) Think the economy needs a lil stimulus money to get the ball rolling on growth? A basic, no-frills Death Star would cost approximately $15.6 septillion dollars. (In Earth terms, $852 quadrillion, or 1300 times global GDP). Also, due to its spherical shape in theory it would also roll, much like the aforementioned ball we would like to get rolling.
3) We wont even have to raise taxes! Unlike the Iraq War, the Death Star will pay for itself via the exploitation of fearful lesser planets.
4) Obviously, Death Stars are great for national security. We would see an immediate end to the Iranian nuclear program, the North Korean ICBM program, and human dignity.
5) Building a Death Star would result in the complete annihilation of the Rebels and the remaining Jedi, ushering in a dark age of unimaginable suffering which will last for thousands of years.
6) It will be virtually indestructible.

Yeah, I heard about this in late November or early December 2012... I think it's stupid that they're even considering this. Not the White House, but the 25,000 people who signed the **** thing.
Let's go ahead and spend $850,000,000,000,000,000 on a prop used on a fictional movie. Perfect answer to our national debt.

Haha, and what would they do once they build it?? certainly not use it as an actual "Death Star" with lasers and all.

Nope, giant lasers are imperative. Maybe we could blow up Uranus just because of that terrible name.

To have a Death Star. Why else would anyone want to construct a Death Star?

Well in all seriousness it was really just a joke and it see if the White House actually responses the all petitions that get 25k signatures no matter how ridiculous.
Annnnd they do...
