I can't quite put my finger on the inherent madness in this statement...

I'm sure inflation would an issue.

In fact, why not make it inflatable!

of course inflation would rise... everyone has a job and in turn spending money... whats your point.
Inflation going up is bad and good. Along with inflation going down can be good or bad.
As long as it sticks around 1-2% no problems.

I just think the idea that spending a huge amount of money on a thing and claiming that it increases the wealth of the world because it exists and had that amount of money spent on it seems a bit... well, like the sort of thinking that's got us in the mess we're in now.

hmm the countries that spent there way out are doing better than those who have not.
We should just need to have a huge war... that's what history has told us when economies get into trouble. Sort it through war.
The USA did it in the 30's-40's along with Germany.... Rome did it in the early Ad period to keep the republic alive and before by destroying Carthage.
Better just make sure we don't lose... that's the only thing ha.
Of course this is one solution.

How does the Death Star move about? I can see a flipping great gun on it, but no thrusters.

Didn't some second string actor fella they had as President already do this? Mainly to put the frighteners on the Ruskies, and it worked. Mind you, I think it wasn't for real, they weren't really doing it at all, just going through the motions. Like the moon landings.

SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!!
You'll be telling me next that there's no chance of me getting a threesome together with Captain Jack Harkness and Seven of Nine .
Assimilate me. Resistance is futile...

Wouldn't be a problem. The Echo satellites were balloons. Once you've inflated the structure, even if the gas leaks away (as indeed it will after a few micrometeoroids have hit) the inflated shape will remain, because there's no air pressure outside the structure to make it collapse.
Anyway, fairies can't live in space, and their wings wouldn't work in vacuum.

Can't they make some space suits and use thrusters? Or just use their magic wands?

Please say they can
