I agree it sounds like a nice idea, but I think the costs of putting something in "orbit" would be beyond comprehension. I remember seeing a documentary about what NASA has to do to something to make certain it can withstand the stresses of lauching, eg. vibration & acoustic testing.
It will be fascinating to see what commercial space flight does to the cost of getting something into orbit, but to my humble understanding, there is a finite amount of energy that has to be expended to achieve escape velocity...
