There's an interesting relationship between the strength of the electrostatic repulsion between two protons, and the gravitational attraction of protons. It works out such that it takes ~10^54 protons gathered together in one place before the gravitational attraction can overwhelm the electrostatic repulsion. In other words, stars as as big and long-lived as they are because gravity is so weak.
