When you say they "have to offically respond" could they not just go.

"emmm no..."

"The President would like to politely request that you all get a life."

Goes against one of the fundemental internation treaties to not put weapons in outer space.

This death star could be purely for research purposes.

Only nukes other WMD are banned. Conventional weapons are OK.

Perhaps the President should reply with a picture of himself looking all smug next to this:

Death Star

Also he could point out that the Super Star Destroyer project is coming along nicely:

Super Star Destroyer

Video of him running around the Oval Office making psuedo aeroplane noises is optional.

What a planet-destroying Death Star wouldn't fall under the 'WMD' banner

I thought building something like this would take up all our resources in iron.

Maybe it could be constructed from some sort of high tech polymer instead?

Obama is useless so we may as well help wasting his time!

ajf · 12 Jan 2013 at 12:04

Oh dear.
Looks like they've decided against building it for now!

As long as it is manned by Brits this could work. lol

Unfortunately it would be our job to blow it up

Nice response by the WH

Craig1981 · 12 Jan 2013 at 13:53

Theres also the slight problem that its basically building a WMD that we would have nobody to use it against. Unless we were planning to blow up Earth with it.

That would be a wee bit self defeating, no?

Marky · 12 Jan 2013 at 13:58

Hahaha the response was satisfying

Spit · 12 Jan 2013 at 14:03

Superb response

Not sure what was funnier, the response or the fact that the NASA office responsible for commercial use of space has the acronym C3PO.
