To you, un-named employee who wrote the reply for the Death Star petition,
You are AWESOME! Obama is pretty cool too, alway great to have a presidential nerd.
Read the wonderfully nerdy, well-informed and funny response to the petition here.
Favorite part?
Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?
And let me guess, the religious wingnuts will now be sure that Obama is a Jedi, not a Christian. 😀

He’s not unnamed, but I’m sure the article you read didn’t cite him. His name is Paul Shawcross, the Chief of the Science and Space Branch of the White House Office of Management & Budget. The full official response is here. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/response/isnt-petition-response-youre-looking

I just realized that I must have misread your post since you also linked to the official site. You probably mean the ‘real’ person who wrote the response. Not sure if it was Shawcross or not, but it was brilliant! I was quite impressed with the number of Star Wars references.

I like the part he tells the guy to pursue a science or math-related course. That is just brilliant.
