Can we begin a Federation-wide project now? Here are some ideas:

-Scientific Space Station
-Orbital Deep Space Magnetic "Slingshot" Apparatus
-Exoatmospheric Vehicle Fleet
-Colonization of extraplanetary bodies
-Harvesting a space nebula
-Black Hole-based Weaponry
-Capture a Magnetar to harvest its electrical output
-Militaristic Space Station
-Land-to-Space Communications Megastation

Just some ideas. Feel free to use and adapt them as you wish.
