美國政府正式拒絕死星建造計畫...

起於去年十一月時,有人在白宮We the People 網站上發起建立死星的請求 XDDD

該份請願書在「Secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016.」。依照規定,請願超過兩萬五千人後,白宮必須給予正式的回覆。

於是... 白宮就正式回覆了 XDDD 回覆是由 Paul Shawcross (Chief of the Science and Space Branch at the White House Office of Management and Budget) 掛名。BBC 中文網給了很短的說明 (不過把重點都提到了):「美國未批准修建星球大戰式太空站」。

在回覆內容中,標題的「This Isn't the Petition Response You're Looking For」是有梗的... 可以參考 IMDBStar Wars 的名言錄:「These aren't the droids you're looking for.」。

條列式列出三個政府反對的原因,第一條還很正經解釋預算問題。第二條就很正經的歪掉:

The Administration does not support blowing up planets.

而第三條直接說「啊這東西沒用啦~」:

Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?

解釋完後,後面就在推廣 ISS 與最近的成就... XD
