White house says no to "death star"

Hi all

Lol I feel like Im starting to many threads but I just saw this and thought ats would like it

Well i guess the white house doesnt like the idea of the us having a death star. Im not sure if was ever really that feasible but its fun to talk about

The White House says building a Death Star would be an out-of-this-galaxy waste of money — not only because it's against government policy to blow up planets, but also because the United States already has access to a space station as well as a laser-wielding space robot

Today's official statement on the Death Star issue, titled "This Isn't the Petition Response You're Looking For," was written by Paul Shawcross, chief of the science and space branch at the White House Office of Management and Budget. It comes in response to a "We the People" petition that called on the federal government to start building a "Star Wars"-style Death Star battle station by 2016.

but how will we protect ourselves from the dark side

LL, glad to hear that it is "official", that was keeping me up at nights. Seriously though, don't we have better things to do than to blow stuff up? Thanks for keeping us posted!!

The Death Star was a tool of The Dark Side (notice they both have the same acronym T.D.S.)

The government may well have saved us from The Dark Side, which would be a bit of an oxymoron, but no matter.

Incidentally, isn't an out-of-this-galaxy waste of money exactly what our government is best at? Seems like shady reasoning to me.

Hmm but the USA do have plans from the Cold War to put orbiting Space Weapons in space ( Examples: nuclear missiles in Space satellites)

Pray VERY hard.

Damn!
First we're not going to Mars for another 20 years or so, and now this!
Well hopefully the euro ELI project is still rolling on schedule.

I wonder what they will say about a "gigawatt-class interplanetary spaceship with artificial gravity" the Enterprise

Dag nab it

But think about a black comet zooming in from out of the solar system

It maybe able to knock it of course or disintegrate it

What are they thinking?

Think of all the jobs

Awww... Such an opportunity at branding and legacy missed...

They probably already have one.

Or they will do this in secret if they haven't already.

or they feel there is no need because what the flying saucers are better than a death star idea.

Lol I thought when I saw it, this will make a fun thread

Someone has created an interesting video on this subject:

“So this is how liberty dies… with thunderous applause.” —Padmé, Star Wars: Episode III

How much money was whizzed away on this reply? Even if it's two cents, it's a colossal waste of cash.

Frankly, no matter how good of an idea it seemed like at the time, this "White House Petition" thing is utterly stupid. People should not be allowed to create a petition nominating "Snooki" from Jersey Shore as UN Ambassador and the White House is required to respond to it.

I find it hard to believe that this is an official statement/reply after all the White House has no sense of humor and that reply was funny.

It would have been so cool watching them build this

OMG , i read the whole reply earlier and couldnt stop laughing .. now im refreshing that laughter...


come on guys ya all gotta admit that the guy who wrote the reply has one hellava sense of humor and is a damn good sport about it all ... yet we still want our death star ....



so come on the age of star wars becomes reality ....
