This has been the premise of a number of Science Fiction novels over the years. It would be a viable idea IF we could get over the issues of getting the parts and fuel up to that space platform in the first place. Mining asteroids and space manufacturing are often part of the equation. Alternative fuel sources or different types of power supplies would be helpful too. We may someday get there, but there are a lot of questions to answer first.
