    True but you wouldn’t have to worry about debris in its orbit, or having to run special trips just for supplies and getting rid of garbage, plus you don’t have to worry about maintenance in space. When one is acting up, you undock it and go home.

      This disallows long term experiments. And it would be way higher of a cost since you have to take everything with you every time. Toilet? Take it with you. Solar panels, them too. All life support needs to be able to work for months, not just a few days. Take all of those supplies with you. Air lock too. And yes, you still have the risks of debris.

        I am kinda tempted to see if some of my KSP obsessed friends could try it.
