Jeez. Can't believe no one figured that out yet.

Its technically a hedge fund, but I think Cerberus would be interesting...

I'd go for Ratheon, Lockhead Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, or General Atomics.

Hah, I was going to pick one of those. It would probably be LM or Boeing though since they're the only ones with manned vehicles.

How much money can one person spend? I'd get bored after a couple billion myself. Beyond that, I'd start buying out space programs and stuff. (I think I'd give most of it away before that.)

Ooo! Good one!
I was going to say the US, but since I'll own that anyway within 20 or 30 years, I'll take Exxon-Mobil. Oh man, that'd be fun to mess with. 100% of R&D into renewable energy- change the world, and make an obscene amount of money doing it.

MGM Mirage

Or I'd just go for the company with the highest market cap (GE still?) so I could cash out.

This answer's probably already been given but I'd just take the most expensive one, cash out, and do whatever I want to do.
