This would seem an ideal solution.
The only question is where to get carbon/carbon composite bricks.


Wouldn't it be great, having Lego in space

But on a more serious note: has any of the parties involved in the ISS

Not seriously. Most ideas under consideration are straightforward scale-ups
of SAFER, the mini-backpack used by the US spacesuits.
