One of the problems with space stations is that we can make them longer, or we can pull off pieces and replace them with bigger ones. We don’t have a way to make them larger around.

And the way contact points work, I don’t think we have a way to even inflate a new section around an existing one.

We could just leave them up there and add more stations nearby. It may even be possible to use tethering lines to travel from one to another.
