Yes ... but good luck containing it! We have reproduced a stars reaction on earth. It is commonly known as the Hydrogen Bomb. A star is nothing more than an immense fusion reaction combining hydrogen atoms to form helium.

A star is a little bit more than a fusion reactor. First of all it must have strong gravity to fuse and this means size. To really create a star you'd have to have a lab several times larger than Jupiter. Difficult for sure.

I think "stars" will likely work in the "lab" (i.e. fusion reactors) in the future. So far, we've only been able to contain fusion reactions for a very short time by experimental means. They work, but only for a very short time. :)
ITER is an example of an experimental fusion reactor.

Don't they already? Aren't fusion reactors a kind of "star" (at least in micro-physical terms)?

the reactors we have right now are fision reactors, not fusion. Hopefully fusion technology is right around the corner.

You mean, will Tom Cruse or Angelia Jolie ever work for the pharmaceutical industry? I doubt it.
