Constructing and manning a "Death Star" would;
1. Create many jobs for those currently enemployed.
2. Offer unprecidented means of scientific and space discovery.
3. Bring NASA back into public focus as well as creating many job openings for astronaughts.
4. Running it as an international space station to foster better relations with other countries.
5. Create a much more efficient means of asteroid defense.
6. Would offer a very clear picture of what life may be like in the event of extraterrestrial habitation.
7. In an extreme scenario would be operational as an anti-nuclear option.
