Yikes. You'd want higher than that, and you'd want more than one guy.

Why, electric rockets or tethers can keep the station up, with one man
rockets you have a lot of traffic bring up supplies. At one time most of
China moved on bikes, it did not stop them from getting to work. Start small
and work your way up. The problem with present day NASA is that it always
wants to start big.
