Now that this petition on whitehouse.gov has gathered the requisite 25,000 signatures, there is simply no other possible outcome. Once Congress realizes the impact the moon-size space superiority platform will have on our economy, senators will be climbing over each other to be the first to vote yay. Construction jobs alone will pull us out of the recession. If only the world could produce a sufficient amount of steel in less than 800,000 years.

I did notice one flaw though: the petition fails to ensure said Death Star is built without a giant exhaust tube leading straight to the reactor system.
