Recently over 34,000 people have signed a petition to have the government make a real life Death Star, like the one from the Star Wars movies, in order to improve our countries safety and possibly the planet some day. When this came to the White House, they pretty much just laughed at the petition and responded by saying that it is stupid to make something so big and expensive that can be destroyed by a one man ship. They also said that it would cost us around $850 quadrillion, which would not help our economy. The White House also made it clear that they don't plan on blowing any planets up in the near future. We also already have a space station, and it only cost a couple billion...thanks NASA. So if any of the 34,000 people that signed this petition can explain to me why we would make a very expensive space station when we already have a space station that has been fine to this date, then I would love to hear their explanation. This seemed to be a good time for our government to tell us that if we want something like this to ever be possible then we need more people to get into the math and science departments. The White House also said that most of the technology that the Death Star uses hasn't been created or discovered yet, so it wouldn't be able to do a whole lot. My thoughts on this are just the fact that there are 34,000 people that would like to waste a lot of peoples time building a stupid space station, that wouldn't do anything for a long time, and how would we even get that thing into space, its HUGE!!! Now there is a petition going around asking the government to build a life size version of the Enterprise from Star Trek. Thank you to whoever started this.
