Drop it onto one of the poles on the moon and mine that sucker for its water and volatile gases and ices. It is cheaper to send water from the moon to earth orbit than from the surface of the earth to LEO. Dropping a iceberg like that on the south pole of the moon in one of the dark permanent shadows and all the sudden living in space gets a lot cheaper.
