I would say yes. We would need an iterative approach where we try something, detect flaws, and fix those flaws. It would take many years to fix all the flaws that can't be fixed without Earth's help. Radiation shielding is easier on the moon and mines can provide resources for repairs and expansion. The goal would be to get to the point where they can repair things without Earth's help. I'm not sure about a space station orbiting Earth. A space station near an asteroid would have a source of resources.
