December 17, 2012 — Despite looming budget cuts
and a space program relying on Russia to make
missions into space, the United States government will
be forced to respond to a citizens request to build a
"Death Star.
The online petition submitted to the White House
website asks the Obama administration to secure
resources and funding for the construction of a Death
Star by 2016.
First featured in the classic Star Wars series, the Death
Star is a round, moon-like space weapon that can
destroy an entire planet with a single blast of energy.
Over 26,000 signatures were recorded on the "We the
people" section of the White House website, forcing
government officials to give a response.
According to their web page, “We the People helps the
White House understand the views of the American
people and have a focused and civil conversation with
them.”
If a petition surpasses 25,000 signatures, it will be
reviewed by White House staff and receive
acknowledgement.
Star Wars fan culture has grown rapidly thanks to
consent from creator George Lucas to use his
characters in fan-made stories.
The authors of the petition stated in their request that
its construction would be a boost to the economy by
creating jobs and aiding in national defence.
“By focusing our defence resources into a space-
superiority platform and weapon system such as a
Death Star, the government can spur job creation in
the fields of construction, engineering, space
exploration, and more, and strengthen our national
defence,” stated the petition.
In February, students from Lehigh University of
Pennsylvania calculated that, it would cost $852
quadrillion, or 13,000 times the world’s gross
domestic product to build a Death Star.
The students estimated that to build a 140 km
diameter ship at current production rates, it would
take 833,315 years to mine the required amount of
steel to begin work on such a weapon.
Star Wars devotees are known as a passionate group of
fans that have spread around the world.
According to a government census in the United
Kingdom, the number of official "Jedi" followers topped
300,000 in 2001, though this number has since
declined to under 200,000 as of 2011."
