I love when a government agency has a sense of humor. Great read.

It's good to see there's some humour in the serious business of politics left!
However, who needs Death Stars when they have those walking droids!

If someone were to propose this in Belgium, they'd probably build it.

All in good fun but please be mindful that political discussion violates one of the few rules that we still have on the RRF.

The Administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defense, but a Death Star isn't on the horizon. Here are a few reasons:
1. The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it.
2. The Administration does not support blowing up planets.
3. Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?
I about fell off my chair laughing at this!
