$850,000,000,000,000,000
— The estimated cost of building a Death Star. The White House cited the $850 quadrillion price tag as the primary reason it will not be built, despite a petition on the White House web site calling for construction of such a space-superiority orbiting platform. Plus, "the Administration does not support blowing up planets," said Paul Shawcross, chief of the science and space branch at the Office of Management and Budget. Not sure how certain members of the House Armed Services Committee feel, but the decision sounds like an impeachable offense to Battleland.
