Background info: During U.S. President Barack Obama's first term a feature was added to The White House website that allowed citizens to submit petitions for what they wanted their government to do. "Giving all Americans a way to engage their government on the issues that matter to them", is what it says on The White House website.
This is the official response to the petition to create a Death Star in space:
"The Administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defense. But the Administration does not support blowing up planets."
