Starlab Space, the joint venture developing the Starlab commercial space station, has selected SpaceX’s Starship to launch the station on a single flight.
Heck, if you can get it into orbit, you can send another Starship up and push it wherever you want it.
And if you get them to the point where you can “mass produce” (as much as you do that for anything in space), we could be looking at a lot more science happening for a lot less.
Just refill it with a tanker and send it on its merry way.
Going off on a tangent, as far as mass production goes, the satellite constellations and their suppliers/subcontractors are evidence that things are improving. Iridium, Starlink, Oneweb, SDA, etc.
