that's my take on it, at least in terms of a single monolithic station. One 
thing that nobody here mentioned is the problem in stabilizing such large 
structures, occellations, orbital raising burns, etc.

Elon Musk proposed a slightly different take, take the platform that they will 
be using for their full size v2 (or v3) starlinks and add more processing 
instead of as many data links. a bunch of those in a loose cluster instead of a 
tightly correlated cluster could be interesting (and far more likely)
