No Death Star

The White House has rejected a petition signed by 35,000 citizens that called on the U. S. to build a death star.  The pettition argued such a project would create millions of new jobs and enhance U. S. national security.

The White House countered that not only would such a hugely expensive effort completely destroy the budget, but that it's not U. S. policy to blow up planets.

Now that that's settled, perhaps we can get on to establishing serious space policy.
