I'm curious -- do you mean the concept as posted, or the full-size, 250-acre, 3/4s of a mile diameter original concept? Because, damn, I'd love to do the latter.
As long as it's appropriately slow - as in, pretty much anything overhauls it and larger=faster of traditional Spindizzy doesn't apply - and basically treated as an 'artifact'. I'm thinking, pretty much any method to lift something that large into orbit should be a one-time deal. At least, for now.
I don't really mind the large size - you do realize it'll be a prime target for Reavers, right? For a number of reasons.
Besides, there's the whole quippage potential inherent in that ... I'd imagine your avatar would be getting more than a little exasperated with being almost universally referred to as Mr.VTOL (for 'Vast Tracts Of Land').
