And how long is the arm supposed to be in the intended orbital system? Because if you want a 500m arm, you literally have a millions-of-cubic-meters-sized vacuum chamber -- and not only that, you have a vacuum chamber with a highly disadvantageous shape (a flat disc). That sounds like a mildly insane design to me.
