A petition that has called for a "Death Star" to be construcuted has been denied by the Obama administration. The Death Star is a made-up space station that was featured on the "Star Wars" movies.

The official petition asked for the planet-destroying space station to be built.

"The administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defense, but a Death Star isn't on the horizon," said Paul Shawcross, head of the White House budget office's science and space branch according to MSN."The administration does not support blowing up planets," Shawcross wrote on the white house website where there were nearly 35,000 people who signed the petition.

Paul Shawcross wrote that the Death Star would cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000 to create. "We're working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it," adds Shawcross.

The White House set up its petition website and said it would respond to any petitions that received 25,000 signatures at least. The petition asked to build the Death Star by 2016 so that "the government can spur job creation in the fields of construction, engineering, space exploration, and more, and strengthen our national defense."

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

Shawcross also added, "Yes, we already have a giant, football field-sized International Space Station in orbit around the Earth that's helping us learn how humans can live and thrive in space for long durations.The Space Station has six astronauts -- American, Russian, and Canadian -- living in it right now, conducting research, learning how to live and work in space over long periods of time, routinely welcoming visiting spacecraft and repairing onboard garbage mashers, etc. We've also got two robot science labs -- one wielding a laser -- roving around Mars, looking at whether life ever existed on the Red Planet."
