realistically will do
>deploying loads of spy/telecom satellites
>propellant tanker/depot to refuel said satellites (so they could maneuver much more wastefully)
>technology testing and return (ie what X-37B was designed for)

>boosting, refurbishing or abducing satellites (ie what Shuttle was designed for)
>Rapid Dragon swarm platform
>ASAT platform
>kinetic bombardment platform
>building and resupplying civilian and military outposts in space (Amundsen–Scott was built by Navy Seabees)
